Your favorite cooking competition series is finally back but with a brand-new judge who you may have seen once or twice before!

That's right! MasterChef Junior season 9 returns to your screens later tonight. And with the premiere of the new season comes Tilly Ramsay, Gordon Ramsay's daughter who will serve as our fourth special guest for this season!

Gordon having his daughter beside him is sure to stir up some funny and memorable moments you don't want to miss, which is why we're here to tell you all about what's in store for this season! Check it out below.

What makes MasterChef Junior season 9 different?

For the most part, the name of the MasterChef Junior game stays the same --- one talented young chef from across the nation competes amongst others for the chance at winning the grand prize and title. However, compared to previous seasons, season 9 is dialing back on how many new contestants it features, as only 12 amazing chefs will compete.

Meet the talented cast of season 9 below:

  • Alfred Eggermont, 11 - Binford, North Dakota
  • Kristell Jean, 10 - Austin, Texas
  • Jordyn Joyner, 8 - Greensboro, North Carolina
  • Lydia Ledon, 9 - Atlanta, Georgia
  • Bryson McGlynn, 11 - Opelika, Alabama
  • Asher Niles, 8 - Yakima, Washington
  • Miles Platt, 10 - College Station, Texas
  • Remy Powell, 10 - Hollywood, Florida
  • Michael Seegobin, 11 - New Smyrna, Florida
  • Jason Sun, 9 - San Gabriel, California
  • Breanna "Bre" Williams, 10 - Burbank, California

Here's a first-look at all the above contestants with the official trailer for MasterChef Junior season 9.

Now that you know a little more about what's on the way, there's probably one big question you may be asking yourself.

Can Tilly Ramsay cook as well as her father?

Safe to say, Tilly is a young prodigy who is a force to be reckoned with, as she has just as much skill as her father who has been in the cooking skill all his life.

You'll have to wait to see what advice and expertise she brings to this season, but if you're wondering how skilled she is in the kitchen, here's a video of Tilly and Gordon cooking it up on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Gordon and Tilly's chemistry is nothing short of a fun time, so we're anticipating viewers to be entertained all the way until the very end.

Don't forget to tune in to the season 9 premiere of MasterChef Junior tonight, Mar. 4, at 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX. See you there!
