Rachael Ray Inks Massive 110-Episode Deal with A+E Global Media
16 Oct
Summary
- Rachael Ray and Free Food Studios to produce 110 new episodes for A+E Global Media
- New episodes of "Rachael Ray's Meals in Minutes" to debut in 2026
- Free Food Studios launched in 2023 after Ray's daytime talk show ended
As of October 16, 2025, Rachael Ray and A+E Global Media have significantly expanded their partnership, with the TV chef and personality set to produce 110 new episodes for the network's Home.Made.Nation lifestyle brand and programming block on the A&E and FYI cable channels.
The new content, which includes additional episodes of Ray's popular "Meals in Minutes" series, is expected to debut in 2026. This announcement builds on the initial pact struck between Ray and A+E Global Media last year, which saw the launch of Free Food Studios - a joint venture between Ray, Intentional Content, and A+E.
Under the Free Food Studios collaboration, A+E Networks had previously ordered 278 new episodes across various culinary-related series featuring Ray and other notable chefs. The expansion of this partnership comes after Ray's long-running daytime talk show "Rachael Ray" came to an end in 2023 after 17 seasons on the air.
"I'm thrilled to continue growing our partnership with A+E and to keep sharing the kind of food and storytelling that feels like home," Ray said in a statement. "Together with Free Food Studios, we've built a creative space where cooks and viewers can connect through comfort, curiosity, and real-life inspiration -- and I can't wait to bring even more of that to audiences everywhere."
