School Of Chocolate Season 2: Release Date, Contestants, And More - What We Know So Far

For a long time, the world knew Amaury Guichon as the pastry chef who made magnificent, realistic creations entirely out of chocolate and shared videos of them on Instagram. Some also knew him as the co-founder of The Pastry Academy in Las Vegas. But ever since Netflix released reality cooking show "School of Chocolate," viewers have grown to know and love Guichon for his kind and constructive teaching.

"School of Chocolate" offers a refreshingly different take on what a cooking competition can be. Not only have viewers been impressed by Guichon, his patience, and sincerity, but fans on Reddit also seem to love the show's format of skipping eliminations. Contestants have been seen helping each other, weaker chefs often get one-on-one sessions with Guichon, and the drama has been kept to a minimum — it really does feel like it's a school where learning is more important than ruthless challenges.

The public's opinion is clear: They love "School of Chocolate." The question is, will there be a second season?

According to Cindy Holland, the streaming platform's VP of original programming, Netflix decides on whether or not to renew a show based on viewership — but the streamer also takes into account how much viewers actually like a certain series. While Netflix doesn't release viewership numbers to the general public, fans certainly did seem to love this one very much. Season 1 of "School of Chocolate" also concludes with Guichon popping a bottle of champagne and raising a toast to the conclusion of what he says is "the first 'School of Chocolate.'"

Unfortunately, it's been years since Season 1 hit the airwaves. Never say never ... but it's very unlikely, at this point, that fans will get a second installment. Guichon is busy, after all, and has become involved in other projects. The good news is, one of those projects is "Dessert Masters," on which he serves as a judge. Fans can satisfy their interest by checking that series out.

"School of Chocolate" depends on its French chocolate teacher, Amaury Guichon. Fans on Reddit love the breath of fresh air that he brings to a reality cooking competition by replacing snarky comments and unhelpful feedback with constructive advice and guidance. But that's not all that Guichon adds to the Netflix show.

Already a popular chocolatier in the realm of Instagram and TikTok prior to "School of Chocolate" launching, Guichon also happens to be a co-founder and instructor at his own Pastry Academy in Las Vegas. If there ever was ever the perfect candidate for a reality show about chocolate that was fashioned more as a school than a competition, Guichon seems to be it, considering he already has plenty of teaching experience under his belt.

Given his experience and fanbase, if Season 2 ever gets made, he'll probably be back for it. Devin Cowan and Carolyn Nugent are also likely to return.

Season 1 of "School Chocolate" saw individual challenges set up by Guichon, based on the technical pastry skill that the chef taught them in the episode. The winners got a point and were able to move on, and the contestants who didn't quite nail the task had to sit out the second round, and instead, got a one-on-one session with Guichon. The team challenge was where the chef really set the bar high with stunning sculptures that had to be made entirely out of chocolate. If Netflix is to air a second season, viewers can likely expect participants to try to recreate some more chocolate masterpieces that Guichon sets up for them — perhaps a seven-foot-tall Statue of Liberty this time, like he built and shared on Instagram?

Season 1 winner Juan Gutierrez taught a masterclass at Guichon's pastry academy in February (via The Pastry Academy website). So, a potential Season 2 might offer contestants a similar prize along with a $50,000 check like Gutierrez received. Regardless of the exact challenges and the prize, if Netflix is going to bring on Season 2 of "School Chocolate," contestants can be certain to learn a lot of skills from their teacher along the way.
