School of Chocolate season 2 release updates, renewal and more

School of Chocolate, the Netflix original baking competition, premiered on Black Friday.

The series led by world famous chocolatier, Chef Amaury Guichon, pit eight contestants against each other in a competition that paired the deliciousness of pastries and chocolate with the artistry of skilled engineering and sculpting.

Unlike many of the reality cooking and baking contests on the platform, School of Chocolate doubled as a learning environment for the chefs participating in the show. Instead of being eliminated one by one each episode, they continued to sharpen their skills until two of them went head-to-head in the finale.

The competition’s Best in Class throw down could only produce one winner and, if you’ve seen the season, it came as no surprise who took home the coveted title and the 50,000 dollar grand prize.

If you’re a fan of this series then we know you have your mind on School of Chocolate season 2. Here’s what we know about the baking contest’s future!

How many seasons of School of Chocolate are there?

There’s currently one season of the competition on Netflix.

Will there be a second season of School of Chocolate?

A renewal announcement has yet to be released. However, in season 1’s finale episode, Chef Guichon popped a bottle of bubbly and said, “And this concludes the first School of Chocolate,” which suggests the show isn’t meant to be a limited series and a second season isn’t out of the question.

As School of Chocolate is Chef Guichon’s show, he’ll make a return in a potential season 2. His assistants Carolyn and Devin likely will, too. The cast is sure to be a new set of experienced pastry chefs and chocolatiers.

What could School of Chocolate season 2 be about?

A sophomore season of the competition will likely follow the same direction as the first. Chefs will go head-to-head in pastry and chocolate showpiece challenges modeled after the techniques and methods Chef Guichon teaches them in the episode.

The two lowest scoring chefs in the pastry challenge will sit out of the chocolate showpiece battle. While they will earn a one-on-one tutorial with Guichon, it also means they’re standing at the School of Chocolate is in jeopardy.

By the end of the season, a new Best in Class will be chosen.

If School of Chocolate is renewed for a second season, we’ll see the show’s return in 2022. Without a renewal, we can’t determine when that could be, but it may continue to be a seasonal release on the streamer around Thanksgiving.

The show lends itself well to Netflix’s holiday programming and if it gets a Christmas spin in season 2, it’ll be a perfect fit. We’ll keep you posted on renewal news. Stay tuned to Netflix Life!
