Foodies, it’s time to clear your watchlist — Netflix is cooking up something special this summer with a wave of new culinary content, including a genuinely historic streaming first. Chef **Emeril Lagasse** is bringing his New Orleans flavor to Netflix for the very first time, and he’s not coming alone.

## A Streaming First: “Emeril Cooks” Joins Netflix

In a notable industry crossover, **The Roku Channel’s “Emeril Cooks”** will debut on Netflix US on **July 7, 2026** — marking the first time a Roku Original series has been licensed to Netflix in the United States. The show, which originally premiered as a Roku exclusive back in 2022, follows the legendary chef as he celebrates New Orleans’ rich food culture, spotlighting local businesses while cooking up signature dishes in his own kitchen.

| Detail | Information |
| --- | --- |
| Show | Emeril Cooks |
| Original Platform | The Roku Channel |
| Netflix US Release | July 7, 2026 |
| Host | Emeril Lagasse |
| Theme | New Orleans cuisine & culture |

This is a big deal in streaming terms — Netflix has licensed content from nearly every major competitor at this point, but Roku has largely kept its homegrown originals to itself in the US market. “Emeril Cooks” breaks that trend, and it’ll be worth watching whether more Roku titles follow.

## “America’s Test Kitchen” Brings Its Science-Backed Approach

Starting **June 17**, Netflix is also adding multiple seasons (24, 25, and 26) of the beloved PBS series **“America’s Test Kitchen.”** Known for its rigorous, almost scientific approach to recipes and equipment testing, this is the perfect binge for anyone looking to seriously level up their home cooking game.

## More International Flavor: “Restaurant War Street King Thailand”

Adding to Netflix’s growing lineup of international food competition shows, **“Restaurant War Street King Thailand”** begins dropping weekly episodes from **June 14**. Expect intense kitchen rivalries, mouthwatering street food challenges, and a fierce race to claim the title of street food king.

## Plus: Fresh Episodes from David Chang’s Universe

Food and pop culture fans also get new content from the Chang-Ying partnership, with a new season of **“Recipe Club: At The Movies”** kicking off (first guest: Sean Fennessey) alongside twice-weekly episodes of **“The Dave Chang Show.”**

Interestingly, while licensed content is thriving, Netflix’s own original cooking slate looks a bit quieter — *Next Gen Chef* appears shelved after one season, and the *Iron Chef* franchise is on pause. The international side remains strong, though, with *Culinary Class Wars* returning for season 3 and *The Great British Baking Show* set to return later this year.
