Fox orders more 'Hell's'; schedules 'Cook Along'

Fox has picked up an eighth edition of "Hell's Kitchen" and scheduled the debut of Gordon Ramsay's live cooking special "Cook Along."

The "Hell's" pickup is in addition to a previously announced seventh outing. The next edition of "Hell's" should air late in midseason or next summer, though with two ordered, there's the possibility of another back-to-back scheduling next year. The one-hour "Cook Along" is based on a successful U.K. format where viewers make dinner in real time along with Ramsay as he provides a step-by-step cooking lesson. The program will air Dec. 15 at 9 p.m.
