Netflix has decided to resume production on Nailed It! but it’s unclear if this season will be the most important one in its run. The show has been a big success (I mean, it’s had 7 seasons so it must be doing something right!) but production on this was also halted midway through due to cast and crew striking in a bid to join IATSE. Instead of meeting with the group, Netflix decided to halt production, so the future of this show is very much unknown.
Netflix has announced that it will be releasing a new season of its cooking show, Nailed It!, every other month. This is a smart move, as it indirectly brings more attention to the different heavy-hitting shows Netflix has in a bid to bring new fans onboard.
The show follows the familiar pattern of offering a $10,000 prize to a chef who can recreate edible masterpieces. Of course, the fun and hilarity in this show comes from the hapless chefs who struggle to even mix the ingredients together, let alone putting on a show-stopping centerpiece. ..
We’ve seen a number of different projects over the years, and this time we get chapters centering on Umbrella Academy, The Witcher and Cobra Kai. The final episode, Slime Time, mixes things up though and gives the bakers a different challenge, throwing slime into the mix.
The judges this week are Nicole Byer and Tom Colicchio, who work together to help the contestants cook up their best dishes. This week’s episode sees two different judges join the mix, with Tom Colicchio taking on the role of judge. The format is largely the same, with both Nicole Byer and Tom Colicchio working their way through whatever the different contestants have cooked up.
Halloween is a reality series that takes a very simple premise and absolutely runs with it. Although some of the projects this time lack the same level of hilarity seen in seasons past, the themed ideas with Netflix originals are a nice touch and there’s enough enjoyment to be had in these four episodes to make for a decent watch.
