MasterChef to Screen From May 14

TVNZ will screen the new season of MasterChef Australia from May 14.

As originally planned before the sudden death of judge Jock Zonfrillo, the series will air a week behind its Australian broadcast.

Here’s the media release:

Network Ten has confirmed they will move ahead with the broadcast of the new season of MasterChef Australia with the full support of Jock Zonfrillo’s family.

The upcoming season will serve as a tribute to Jock, celebrating his incredible life and many achievements.

His legacy lives on in the MasterChef kitchen and through his immense impact on the culinary world across both sides of the Tasman.

TVNZ’s broadcast will follow one week behind Australia’s, with the first episode scheduled on Sunday 14 May, 7pm.

TVNZ will work closely with production to ensure our broadcast continues to respect the wishes of Jock’s family and friends.
