Season 5: Home for the Holidays (2023)

Production

On May 5, 2020, HBO Max gave a greenlight for 10-episode cooking series hosted by Selena Gomez, and developed by Aaron Saidman. Gomez executive produced the series alongside Eli Holzman, Leah Hariton, and Saidman.[10][14] The series concept was inspired by Gomez's own experience and struggles with cooking for herself while in quarantine, and the producers were committed to documenting this in a way that was "unrehearsed, unfiltered and truly unscripted."[18] On August 27, 2020, HBO Max renewed the series for a second season.[2] On April 23, 2021, HBO Max renewed the series for a third season.[4] On November 10, 2021, HBO Max renewed the series for a fourth season.[6]

Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, strict safety protocols were followed, with no crew members ever present in Gomez's kitchen. The chefs featured in each episode appear remotely.[18]

In May 2023, following the merger of HBO Max parent company WarnerMedia with Food Network owner Discovery, Inc., forming Warner Bros. Discovery, Food Network announced two new then-untitled projects hosted by Gomez, leaving the fate of Selena + Chef unclear.[19]

In October 2023, it was announced that the first of the aforementioned Food Network projects, a four-part holiday special, would be branded as an extension of the Max (formerly HBO Max) series as Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays. These specials are set to premiere on November 30, 2023.[20]

Release

The series premiered on August 13, 2020, on HBO Max.[9] The second season premiered on November 19, 2020, and continued with more episodes on January 21, 2021.[3] The third season was released on October 28, 2021.[5] The fourth season was released on August 18, 2022, with the first three episodes available, followed by three more episodes each on August 25, and then the final four episodes on September 1, 2022.[7]

Reception

Critical response

For the first season, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 100% based on 5 critic reviews, with an average rating of 6/10.[21]
