- Preproduction for a new MasterChef Celebrity is under way and producers have started early casting calls, according to reports that surfaced June 11.
- Journalist Guido Záffora provided a tentative list of targets that multiple outlets reproduced, but the names remain unconfirmed and negotiations are described as only beginning.
- Reported targets include figures close to Wanda Nara — Zaira Nara, Nora Colosimo and Daniela Christiansson — along with actress Débora Nishimoto as possible participants.
- The production is also said to be courting streaming personalities such as Santi Talledo and Nati Jota to attract younger viewers, while considering surprising picks like Guillermo Andino and Diego Topa to vary the mix.
