PROVO, Utah, April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Family
entertainment television network BYUtv today announced it has
ordered second seasons of the family cooking competition show
"Dinner Takes All" and the multi-generational family game show
"Battle of the Ages" to air this fall. Both series premiered in
March 2019 and are currently airing
their first seasons.
"In partnership with the seasoned creators of such favorites as
'Chopped' and 'Fear Factor,' BYUtv will bring back two reality
series that are truly unique in the television landscape," said
Michael Dunn, managing director of
BYUtv. "'Dinner Takes All' is both a cooking show and a family game
show, and the goal of 'Battle of the Ages' is to bring every
generation of a family together. Both series have been audience
favorites since their premieres, and we're pleased to produce more
episodes for our viewers in the fall."
"Dinner Takes All" is a family cooking competition show hosted
by celebrity chef Kelsey Nixon (Food
Network, Cooking Channel) and judged by "The Queen of Country
Southern Cuisine," Kardea Brown, and "The Yum Yum
Foodie," Eddie Zamora, all of whom
are returning for season 2. In each episode, two teams of five
family members go head-to-head to cook their "best Sunday dinner."
Each team uses family recipes to create an entrée, three side
dishes and a dessert while simultaneously playing interactive
food-centric games for bonus points. Winning families receive a
$10,000 cash prize. "Dinner Takes
All" is from Keller/Noll ("Chopped," "Chopped Junior") and
BYUtv.
The comedic game show "Battle of the Ages" pits two
multi-generational family teams against each other in mental and
physical challenges. With the opportunity to pick a competitor from
the opposing team and test their knowledge on a specific era, this
game show will get families talking and laughing while they learn
more about each other. "Battle of the Ages" is from Bill's Market
& Television Productions ("Ellen's Game of Games," "Fear
Factor") and BYUtv.
BYUtv's original programming slate also includes "Dwight in
Shining Armor," an adventure comedy in which the Middle Ages meets
Middle America; the long-running sketch comedy series "Studio
C," which touts nearly two billion views on YouTube; "Relative
Race," the first family-history based competitive reality show that
follows four teams as they meet relatives linked by DNA for the
first time in a race throughout the
United States; and "Random Acts," an unscripted
hidden-camera reality show that highlights the altruistic nature of
human beings by featuring real people who are the recipients of
random acts of kindness. BYUtv is available across the country
via cable, satellite and multiple digital media platforms.
