Overview
- An ITV spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that there are no current plans to commission a second series of The Heat.
- The show launched in February as a 10-episode hybrid that followed 10 young chefs living and working at a pop-up restaurant in Barcelona.
- Olivia Attwood presented the series while multi‑Michelin‑starred chef Jean‑Christophe Novelli mentored and judged the contestants.
- Reporting from the Oxford Mail cited an industry source who said the production’s overseas shoot and high costs required stronger ratings than the programme delivered.
- All episodes are available to stream on ITVX and ITV2 has aired the series, leaving the option for future revival open but not currently planned.
