Step into the Haunting World of Chef Malik’s Culinary Academy in a Battle for Survival
Dubai, UAE – October 30th, 2024 – This Halloween, Warner Bros. Discovery’s food network, Fatafeat, is set to serve up a frightening new season of its popular and award-winning show, Escape Kitchen.
Season 2 promises to be a spine-chilling culinary adventure as brave chefs confront not just their cooking skills, but the ghosts of a legendarypast. In this much-anticipated season, each episode of Escape Kitchen brings two chefs into the eerie, abandoned halls of Malik’s Culinary Academy, a culinary school with a dark and mysterious history. According to the storyline, the academy was founded in the 1940s by the legendary Chef Malik, whose untimely death in a mysterious fire left his spirit trapped within the academy’s haunted corridors.
This season’s challenges are not for the faint-hearted. Chefs will face off in up to six sinister rooms filled with spooky elements to unsettle the chefs. To survive, they must not only master complex culinary puzzles but also recreate some of Chef Malik’s legendary recipes, all while fending off ghostly apparitions and unlocking the academy’s secrets.
But this is no ordinary cooking competition. To escape Malik’s Academy the chefs must prove their worth by solving the puzzles that guard Malik’s most treasured recipes, which he protected with his life. If they succeed, they may free his restless spirit—but if they fail, they risk joining the academy’s haunted ranks forever.
The lineup for this season features a diverse group of talented chefs from across the region, each eager to test their skills in the culinary underworld:
- Chef Salah and chef Nada
- Chef Lina and Mai
- Influencers and foodies Taher and Hanafi
- Chef Soul and chef Marwan
- Chef Hanane and chef Reem
- Chef Kholoud and chef Omnia

This season promises to captivate audiences with its unique mix of cooking challenges and immersive storytelling, offering viewers a dramatic experience like no other.
