Get into the Halloween spirit with Food Network's fall 2024 schedule
By Mads Lennon
Halloween season is almost here (or already here, for those of us who start celebrating in August), and Food Network has just released the lineup for the 2024 spooky season. This season will feature new seasons of fan-favorite shows like Halloween Baking Championship, Halloween Wars, and more!
In addition to returning series and Halloween specials, fans can also look forward to themed episodes of The Kitchen and The Pioneer Woman to be part of the weekend daytime lineup. Below you'll find out what to expect from Food Network's Halloween schedule for 2024 to plan accordingly!
Halloween Baking Championship
- Premiere Date: Monday, September 16 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
This tenth season of Halloween Baking Championship will feature a steampunk vibe inspired by the creepy science lab called "Henson Laboratories."
The rules are changing just a little. This time around, the 10 competing bakers from across the country will have an opportunity to compete for immunity in select challenges. Otherwise, the show will stay the same, with John Henson back to host and Stephanie Boswell, Carla Hall, and Zac Young returning to judge.
Halloween Wars
- Premiere Date: Sunday, September 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT; Road to Halloween Wars special kicks off before at 8 p.m. ET/PT
Jonathan Bennett is back again for the new season of Halloween Wars, featuring eight teams of sugar artists, cake bakers, and pumpkin carvers.
An interesting twist for season 14 includes former champions being designated as the captains of each team, which makes it seem like it's sort of an "all-star" season in some ways. Judges Shinmin Li and Aarti Sequeira will decide which team has concocted the best edible version of iconic Halloween monsters.
Outrageous Pumpkins
- Premiere Date: Sunday, September 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
Host Damaris Phillips will lead a group of the country's 14 most masterful pumpkin carvers to create "gravity-defying structures" and "mechanical monsters" complete with crazy special effects and more. This season, the competitors will be placed on teams of two to compete for the fist-ever All-Stars Champions title.
Kids Baking Championship: Scary Good
- Premiere Date: Monday, October 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT
The Kids Baking Championship: Scary Good is another one of Food Network's planned specials and will premiere on October 7. It will feature four fan-favorite kid bakers who will have to balance the scary and sweet of Halloween to make pull-apart cupcakes with some of the world's hottest peppers while still staying ready for the surprise twists that could come at any moment. Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown will co-host.
