100 Knives

High-stakes reality competition set in the universe of kitchens and cooking

Originating Territory: Sweden

TV4 (Sweden) - 10 x 90'

The universe is built around kitchens, food, chaos and ambition. It’s raw, real and filled with conflict, passion and heart. In this brand new show, one hundred chefs enter a high-pressure culinary arena where teamwork is everything and no one can afford to be the weakest link. From food truck owners to fine dining apprentices, contestants are split into brigades and face escalating challenges that test skill and leadership.

With each episode, chefs are eliminated, and the brigades reshaped until only the strongest remain, culminating in one ultimate winner who proves they can survive the heat and lead under pressure.

Who will lead their brigade to victory and become the next great head chef, winning the grand prize of one million kronor?
