A new Gordon Ramsay documentary is set to hit Netflix as the platform commissioned a series about the Chef’s life, working process and behind the scenes world as he opens a new restaurant.

On August 21st at the Edinburgh TV Festival, it was revealed that not only will Ramsay be opening a new restaurant in London, but the entire process will be captured for a documentary series. The eatery will be within London’s second tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate, joining his other 90 businesses of this nature worldwide.

The demand is clearly there, as people still scramble to eat at one of Ramsay’s establishments. He currently holds eight Michelin stars, along with his well-known reputation as one of TV’s most entertaining chefs, so the figure has both culinary and celebrity appeal. 

After the success of his other shows like Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and his role as the Masterchef USA presenter, Netflix are hoping to replicate that with Being Gordon Ramsay. As well as capturing the process of opening a restaurant across a nine-month filming period, the series will also give a behind-the-scenes look at his family life as cameras have been granted full access, with Tana and their six children expected to feature, too.

Netflix have yet to confirm a date for the show. However, there is a rough guideline for when it might arrive. Ramsay’s new culinary experience is set to launch in February, 2025, therefore, it’s likely the season would tie into the opening.

Ramsay wasn’t the only celebrity documentary series announced at the festival. It was also confirmed that Victoria Beckham has signed on to create a documentary series about her fashion and beauty brands. Her husband, David Beckham’s production company Studio 99, will be working on it, alongside Dorothy Street Pictures for Netflix.

“The series will tell the story of Victoria’s reinvention as a Creative Director of her own brand,” the streaming platform said in a tweet announcing the deal, hoping to continue on from the major success of Beckham, which traced David Beckham’s football career.

Both will be filmed over a broad time period, aiming to bring an in-depth look into the lives and careers of their subjects, as well as the industries they exist in as Ramsay unveils the restaurant world while Beckham lets viewers into the fashion scene.
