Astro customers can look forward to Star Vs Food Malaysia 2, an award-winning local cooking reality show co-produced by Astro and Warner Bros. Discovery, premiering on 19 February on TV via PRIMEtime (Ch 704) and Astro GO.
The first season of Star Vs Food Malaysia was the Grand Final winner for ‘Best Adaptation of an Existing Format’ at the Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA) 2022. This localised cooking reality show is based on an original Warner Bros. Discovery format, ‘Star Vs Food’, which enjoyed its own success in India.
In season 1 of Star Vs Food Malaysia, fans enjoyed a unique cooking show concept where celebrities explored and learnt recipes by chefs in simple and interesting ways including one of the most watched episodes where Chef Fazley Yaakob brought on the heat as actor Hisham Hamid fought his way to prepare delicious Malaysian cuisine of Daging Salai Lemak Masak Cili Api, Sambal Hijau and Jagung Bakar Macarons.
Sharmin Parameswaran, Vice President, International Business, Astro, said, “Following the success of season 1, we are excited to present a new season of Star Vs Food Malaysia with a fresh approach for audiences. Expect to have more chaos and fun with the stellar line-up of chefs and celebrities in the kitchen.
Additionally, we are looking forward to continue on our co-production opportunities with Warner Bros. Discovery, as we grow our slate of localised formats relevant to Malaysian audiences.”
