Rock Oyster Media has won two ITV commissions fronted by Ainsley Harriott, Ainsley’s Festive Flavours (2 x 60’) and Ainsley in Las Vegas (working title) (4 x 30’).
The Christmas specials, set to air in the festive period, will see Ainsley “cooking up a feast and serving Christmas cheer for famous friends.”
Ainsley in Las Vegas (working title) will see the chef on a culinary odyssey into the heart of Las Vegas. Exploring Vegas’ history, the series captures not just what people eat but the stories behind the spectacle from old-school casino kitchens to cutting-edge chefs redefining American dining. The series is set to air in 2027.
The commissions follow three successful series of Ainsley’s Fantastic Flavours.
David Nottage, Managing Director, Rock Oyster said: “Ainsley brings an amazing energy and vibrancy to culinary programming and we can’t wait to explore more places and dishes with him. Getting into the heart – and stomach – of Las Vegas is going to be an adventure we need in the new year.”
Leanne Clarke, who commissioned the series for ITV said: “Ainsley is a much loved staple of our weekend lineup, and we are delighted to be working with him again. His new Las Vegas cooking series, alongside a fantastic selection of Christmas specials, promise plenty of fun and festive cheer for our viewers!”
The Executive Producers are Charlotte Davis and David Nottage. The Series Producer & Director is Chris Williams. Tara Stones will be producing Ainsley’s Festive Flavours and Sharon Ryan will be producing the Las Vegas series. Caroline Allan is Head of Production.
