For its landmark 20th season, “Hell’s Kitchen” produced a special installment centered around young, up-and-coming chefs. Titled “Hell’s Kitchen: Young Guns,” this season filmed in 2019 prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and features 18 aspiring chefs who are all 24 years old or younger. Just like the recent 19th season, this cycle filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada instead of the normal Hollywood location. Ahead of its May 31, 2021 premiere date, Fox has revealed the 18 all-new cast members for this Sin City season. As usual, they’ll be divided into two groups: Red Team (girls) and Blue Team (boys). All of the power belongs to host Gordon Ramsay, who will eliminate one chef-testant each week until only one remains as the winner. Meet the “Hell’s Kitchen: Young Guns” cast members for Season 20 by scrolling through our photo gallery below.
