Vizio announces Rockstar Kitchen Chronicles with Gavin Rossdale
October 9, 2024
Vizio has announced the upcoming launch of Rockstar Kitchen Chronicles, an exclusive unscripted series hosted by Gavin Rossdale, lead singer and songwriter of rock band, Bush. Premiering early 2025 on Vizio’s free streaming service, WatchFree+, the series promises an entertaining blend of music, conversation, and culinary exploration.
The show brings celebrity guests into Rossdale’s home for intimate cooking sessions, candid conversations, and, of course, music. Currently in production, the show will feature an exciting lineup of stars, including tennis legend Serena Williams, multi-hyphenate entertainer Common, actress Selma Blair, author and actress Brooke Shields, iconic singer Sir Tom Jones, and actor and comedian Jack McBrayer.
“Our show is the culmination of a passionate team collaboration, coming together to make something truly special,” said Rossdale. “With Vizio and production partners Roundtable Entertainment and Bungalow Media + Entertainment, we’ve been able to bring my personal dream to life in what I hope is an innovative and entertaining show. I’ve found that cooking for people creates intimate and special moments and is a great conduit for deeper, meaningful conversations. Nothing brings me greater joy than connecting with friends and family over a fantastic meal that I’ve created just for them.”
“This new series builds on the success of Vizio’s approach to branded entertainment and reinforces our commitment to delivering exclusive, culturally relevant content,” added Adam Bergman, Group Vice President, Advertising & Data Sales. “With Rockstar Kitchen Chronicles, we’re tapping into the intersection of food, entertainment, and music to create a show that resonates deeply with our audience and provides an exciting opportunity for brands to become part of the entertainment.”
The show was created by Rossdale and is headed by Executive Producers Dominic Ianno and Alex Dundas of Roundtable Entertainment. It is produced by Robert Friedman and Mike Powers of Bungalow Media + Entertainment and Sarah Donnelly of Roundtable Entertainment. It is directed by Jesse Davey. Creator Engine will be handling post-production and Keshet International will oversee global distribution outside of the US. The production is backed by Apex Content Ventures at Publicis Media.
