More from Deadline

The series comes from Ample Entertainment, which is behind Netflix’s Kangaroo Valley and HBO’s The Invisible Pilot.

It features icon Chef Masaharu Morimoto as head judge and executive producer as he puts chefs to the test as they compete in challenges that not only honor the skill, ingredients, delicacy, and talent needed to perfect the art of sushi-making, but also break the rules along the way.

Lyrica Okano also returns to host alongside Morimoto.

Morimoto’s Sushi Master is exec produced by Ari Mark, Phil Lott, and Kathryn Vaughn.

“We’re proud to continue partnering with our amazing collaborators at Ample Entertainment and the icon himself, Chef Masaharu Morimoto, to serve up another season of this first-of-its-kind competition series for audiences to savor,” said Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Originals, Roku Media. “Morimoto’s Sushi Master gives viewers an addictive competition that honors a rich food culture while encouraging culinary innovation worthy of being crowned Sushi Master.”

Ari Mark, executive producer and co-founder of Ample Entertainment, said, “We are grateful that audiences have responded so positively to the show, and we can’t wait to bring Chef Morimoto’s expertise and fun to fans for another season!”

“I am honored and excited to be a part of Morimoto’s Sushi Master for another season,” added Morimoto. “The show not only celebrates the artistry of sushi, but also creativity and innovation. I look forward to seeing what the talented chefs bring to the sushi table this time around.”
