We love two things more than anything: true crime documentaries and kitchen competition shows. Okokok, maybe we're being slightly dramatic here, but you get what we're saying. So, naturally, when Crime Scene Kitchen came out, we were immediately hooked.

Crime Scene Kitchen creates a "crime scene" out of the kitchen, and the bakers have to figure out what dessert was made based on the clues around. Sound interesting right? Well, it is. And thankfully it is back for Season 2, and so are our favorite judges!

Let's get reacquainted with the Crime Scene Kitchen judges, shall we?

Let's re-meet the 'Crime Scene Kitchen' judges!

Crime Scene Kitchen

Crime Scene Kitchen is described as a "Cooking competition, hosted by Joel McHale [that] begins at the crime scene -- a kitchen just used to make an amazing mouthwatering dessert that has since disappeared. The two chef teams are challenged to scour the kitchen for clues and ingredients to figure out what was baked."

The winning team gets $100,000 and bragging rights, obviously. So how is the winner chosen? That would be by our celebrity judges Curtis Stone and Yolanda Gampp. Let's re-meet them!

Season 2 Official Trailer | Crime Scene Kitchen

While the premise of Season 2 of Crime Scene Kitchen is the same as Season 1, there is a twist: where last season featured trained professionals, this season has the pros vs. amateur bakers. Curtis jokingly said in the trailer that it's like, "Yolanda, and I are trying to work with Joel." This season will also feature some celebrity guests such as Martina McBride, Nene Leakes, Richard Blais, and Dwight Howard just to name a few.

Season 2 of Crime Scene Kitchen is already underway and we are already obsessed with this new twist.

Make sure to catch new episodes of Crime Scene Kitchen every Monday at 9 p.m. ET.
