The Tiny Chef Show may be sunbathing in a swimsuit, but he’s not back on television just yet. On July 4, the official Instagram account for the Emmy-winning puppet series addressed growing speculation that the show had been quietly renewed following its recent cancellation.
“Just to clarify!! Chef is still unemployed!!!” read the caption alongside a photo of Tiny Chef in sunglasses and a striped swimsuit. The team clarified that while Chef’s online presence is still active thanks to fan support, the television show remains cancelled for now.
This update comes after a wave of renewed interest in The Tiny Chef Show, following a heartfelt viral video where Chef receives the cancellation news via phone call and tearfully processes the disappointment. “But we won an Emmy?” he pleads in the clip - a line that struck a chord with many viewers.
Fans have flooded Chef’s social media with supportive comments, applauding both the show’s emotional honesty and its quirky humour. Some were relieved to see Chef ‘on vacation,’ noting his recent pizza-fuelled slump. “I was concerned since he was eating tons of pizza,” one fan wrote.
The show, which aired for two seasons on Nickelodeon and featured celebrity guests like Kristen Bell and Tony Hawk, has become a cult favourite among both children and adults.
While Chef remains optimistic and open to “movie extra and commercial work,” his team emphasized they’re taking “one step at a time” behind the scenes in hopes of bringing the beloved character back to the screen.
For now, Tiny Chef continues to charm his 5.1 million Instagram followers.
