MasterChef Česko to return in 2027 with new judging panel

The television network Nova has announced that MasterChef Česko will return in 2027. The upcoming season will feature a complete overhaul of the judging panel, replacing the long-standing trio of Kašpárek, Punčochář, and Forejt.

Two of the new judges are Michelin-starred chefs. The third addition is Zdeněk Absolon, a local butcher who operates a family business in Prague 4. Absolon, who previously studied sociology, will transition from his craft in the meat industry to the television competition panel.
