Following its win last week at The International Format Awards in Cannes, the Rabbit Films original adventure reality format Ultimate Escape can now add another accolade under its belt: a nominations for the Best Competition Series at the 43rd Rockie Awards!

The competition in the category is stiff, as the rookie Ultimate Escape will be going up against long-running mammoth series The Great British Bake Off, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Alone and The Bachelorette. Ultimate Escape is also the only non-English language programme in the category.

“Ultimate Escape is an extremely exciting, dangerous and cinematic show that really impresses its viewers no matter where they come from. We at Rabbit Films are very humbled to be acknowledged by the Rockies as a nominee in the Best Competition Series category amongst other very impressive shows”, commented Jonathan Tuovinen, Head of International at Rabbit Films.

The Rockies will be held during the Banff World Media Festival in Canada 12-15 June 2022. The awards recognize excellence in global television and digital content. Entries from more than 55 countries compete each year, and winners are selected by an international industry jury of 150+ senior entertainment and media professionals.

We are happy to present a brand new Rabbit Films original format, Masters of the Kitchen!

In Masters of the Kitchen, the very best chefs of the country gather together to share their stories. In each episode, one chef prepares an important dish from their career for the others to enjoy. They will reminisce career highlights, give advice to aspiring chefs and most importantly, taste each other’s food.

At the same time, we follow a young chef’s journey in preparation for the biggest chef competition of the year. He will document his experience, starting from technique practice, menu planning and learning to work under pressure. It all culminates at the world championships of cooking, the prestigious Bocuse D’Or Competition.

Will he succeed, and bring glory to his country? Or go home empty handed and with an empty stomach?

Masters of the Kitchen airs on Nelonen Finland on Mondays at 7pm. The first season is 6 x 60 mins.
