Foxwoods Resort Casino and ITV America Extend Partnership As Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” Returns To Mashantucket For Seasons 25 & 26
Mashantucket, CT (May 11, 2026) – Foxwoods Resort Casino, the Northeast’s premier integrated resort destination, today announced that the hit FOX culinary competition series HELL’S KITCHEN will return to Mashantucket to film Seasons 25 and 26. Extending its successful partnership with ITV America following the production of Seasons 23 and 24 at Foxwoods’ purpose-built studio facility, the next two installments will once again be filmed on property, further positioning Foxwoods and the state of Connecticut as a beloved destination for creatives.
“Serving as the backdrop for HELL’S KITCHEN once again highlights our innovative vision and the powerful partnership we share with FOX and ITV America, as well as the world-class capabilities of the production studio we’ve built right here in Mashantucket,” said Jason Guyot, President & CEO, Foxwoods Resort Casino. “What began as an exciting opportunity has evolved into a groundbreaking achievement, further solidifying our position as a premier global destination. We’re so proud that this partnership continues to deliver significant economic benefits, attract elite culinary talent, and bring national attention to our region.”
Foxwoods continues to grow as both a world-class resort and a dynamic hub for entertainment and production. The custom-designed studio, modeled after the iconic Hell’s Kitchen red and blue kitchens and dramatic dining room, operates independently from the public-facing Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN restaurant in the Grand Pequot Tower. The expansive space allows full-scale television production to run seamlessly alongside daily resort operations, showcasing the property’s unique ability to host major national programming.
Said ITV America CEO David George, “Foxwoods has been an incredible partner from the outset, creating an exceptional environment for filming that allows both cast and crew to do their best work. Their outstanding team, infrastructure and signature hospitality have elevated production on HELL’S KITCHEN, and we’re thrilled to see the show return to its Connecticut home for seasons 25 and 26.”
Beyond the studio, the continued production of HELL’S KITCHEN in Mashantucket brings national visibility to Connecticut’s cultural and culinary landscape. The series has spotlighted destinations such as the Mystic Seaport Museum and the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center, along with acclaimed local establishments including The Shipwright's Daughter and Long Table Farm. By weaving these locations into the show’s narrative, the production supports tourism and local industry while elevating Connecticut’s profile on the national stage.
As Seasons 25 and 26 move into production, the continued partnership reflects Foxwoods’ ongoing commitment to innovation, strategic collaboration, and growth beyond traditional hospitality. With each new season, the resort further advances its role as a premier East Coast production destination where culinary talent is discovered, careers are launched, and audiences across the country are introduced to the energy and culture of Connecticut.
Hell’s Kitchen is produced by ITV America, in association with A. Smith & Co. Productions. Gordon Ramsay, Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, Kenny Rosen and Bernie Schaeffer serve as executive producers.
