About 'Selena + Chef' Season 3

The first two seasons of Selena + Chef were shot during the lockdown period of the Covid 19 pandemic. Fortunately this season was made in a more relaxed fashion. Season 3 will include more chefs and great recipes along with more friends and family around the table.

Speaking about the show, Gomez said:

"I found myself cooking more just as a result of being home over the last six months. I thought I was a decent cook before, but doing the show was definitely humbling. I realized I didn't know as much as I thought I did. I thought I knew how to make pasta, but I wasn't cooking it properly!"

Selena + Chef Season 3 features chefs including Aarón Sánchez, Ayesha Curry, Esther Choi, Fabio Viviani, Gabe Kennedy, Jamie Oliver, Kwame Onwuachi, Padma Lakshmi, Richard Blais and Sophia Roe.

Stream Selena + Chef Season 3 on October 28 on HBO Max.
