Yesterday, the Gordan Ramsay-led Fox show faced disruption during the season’s third premiere.
Initially, the episode got pushed back because of last night’s NFL game.
To make matters worse, some Fox markets ended the show before it was supposed to be over so that the local news could be aired.
Viewers were displeased with how the third season premiere turned out and took to X, fka Twitter, to share their complaints.

“Guess we didn’t want to watch #nextlevelchef in Montana,” one fan whined.
“We abruptly got switched to the local news to hear about the weather, mild winter if you aren’t aware.”
One person ranted: “So who all made it through? Our stupid local affiliate cut off #NextLevelChef for the local news!”
A fan who wanted to ease the disappointment tweeted: “Oh wait, there’s still a few more minutes (and another elimination).

FOX aired that promo for Thursday’s episode, so I thought it was over.
For anyone who missed it, or if your local affiliate dumped it for late local news, it should be on Hulu later tonight. #NextLevelChef.”
