Why Masterchef Australia is ‘Back to Win’ in 2020
Masterchef Australia returns in 2020 for its 12th season with a returning cast of contestants and sponsors, but completely new judges. Mumbrella’s Hannah Blackiston speaks with Rick Maier, Masterchef executive producer and Mark Herring, Bulla Dairy Foods chilled marketing manager to find out why audiences, and brands, return to the reality show.
With 11 seasons of contestants to pick from it wasn’t hard for Masterchef Australia to select a team of 24 all-stars to come ‘Back to Win’ for the 2020 season. Fan favourites Hayden Quinn and Khanh Ong join those who have had wide-ranging success outside the show including Poh Ling Yeow and Reynold Poernomo.
“Masterchef Australia 2020 is a chance for all Masterchef viewers – past and present – to find a genuine connection with contestants they will know,” says executive producer Rick Maier.
