When is season 2 coming out? I saw it was renewed? Then I have seen various dates in May and June but they all have passed by and I have not seen the new season?

No word yet on when we'll see it. Since Fox has announced its Fall premiere dates and the show wasn't on that list, I suspect the show will premiere mid-season, in early 2023

Great news!  This was an unexpectedly delightful show and I can't wait for the new season.

There was a full ad for CSK on Animal Control  (Joel McHale's "other" show 😉) last night. I was watching a recording and went to FF the commercials. I saw "CRIME SCENE KITCHEN!" and went "whoa, whoa, back it up!" So definitely official! I didn't know it had been renewed, but I'm looking forward to a new season. 😆 See ya'll on the 22nd!

If they're just renewing it now, I wonder when it will air.  They say this year, but it's been a summer show, and knowing how Hollywood operates I don't think that's possible.

Joel McHale and ‘Crime Scene Kitchen’ Team Promise Season 3 Contestants Aren’t Less Skilled — the Game Has Just Gotten Much Harder

“Now that people know the show, thank God, they know there’s a lot of tricks now. On top of that, it is much different when you are in the actual crime scene than when you’re sitting at home,” McHale told Variety. “When you’re sitting at home, you’re gonna just ace ‘Jeopardy.’ You just nail that singing question: it’s freaking Lionel Richie! Then you get there, and all of a sudden, lights, cameras, travel, waking up early and you’re on the spot. And the game is definitely harder, just because people know what to expect and we had to make it harder. And I think it really is a testament to the the test bakers who have to be like, ‘All right, we’re doing a crepe cake now. We got to reverse engineer this thing.’ It’s a weird push and pull where you’re like, you can’t make it too hard, because then no one’s going to get it and it’s going to look impossible, and you can’t make it too easy.”

As Season 3 of “Crime Scene Kitchen” progresses, showrunner Conrad Green teases multiple new ways in which he and the other producers and test bakers have plotted to make the contestants’ lives that much harder.

“We have dabbled in savory. We are still largely a sweet show, but a little bit of savory and mixing it up is always good to add an extra layer of confusion,” Green said. “And we’re always trying to work out different ways to do clues, so [in an upcoming episode] when they searched the kitchen, there was a packet of edible flowers, but there was a couple of lines of flowers missing. And then halfway through the bake, we came along and showed them a photograph of the full packet. But in many cases, they then had to try and remember what the colors were in the package to see which one had been used. We do like that thing of adding extra clues during the course of the bake itself. But it’s kind of tricky to do it in such a way that it allows people to pivot without completely throwing them. You don’t want to do it so late that there’s nothing they can do anyway. The timing of these things is key in how we proceed.”

I hope that they don't get so convoluted with the clues that it's confusing/hard for me, as a viewer, to follow.  So what if multiple bakers get the right bake?  Then it would be down to taste and other factors.  I want the 'crime' to be solvible, not so hard to shift through the evidence that it becomes a cold case.

Every Scrumptious Thing I Learned From the Set of ‘Crime Scene Kitchen’ Season 3
Tania Hussain   Sep 26, 2024
https://collider.com/crime-scene-kitchen-season-3-set-visit/ 

Quote

While speaking to line producer David Harari (Real Country, Battlebots), we learned that there are more than 20 cameras in the studio. But that breakdown extends to some very intricate filming that finds these cameras offering multidimensional coverage to ensure every aspect of the set and the contestants’ action is captured from both artistic and practical angles to engage viewers. With 12 operated cameras, including a TechnoJib and a Fixed-Arm, Crime Scene Kitchen also utilizes seven remote-operated “robo” cameras alongside another seven mounted cameras and a bunch of GoPros hidden throughout the crime scene and the contestants’ kitchens. Making sure no critical action is missed, the control room ahead of the stage looks and feels a lot like you’re in the CIA — not even kidding. As a dark room with multiple TV screens with four-panel outputs spread across a plethora of workstations, it’s like Big Brother watching over everything and we mean everything! Capturing the most candid reactions, the longest of yawns and numerous bloopers, the Crime Scene Kitchen producers are watching every single detail unfold in real time and editing as they go.

While we are in attendance, one thing Collider doesn’t get a chance to see is the “crime scene kitchen” in all its “crime” glory with flour trails and crumbs — a feat that Harari reveals takes 30 minutes to meticulously construct. Instead, the kitchen we are presented with is a very tidy one that has not a speck of culinary offense attached. But there’s a good reason for that. As Harari tells us, it takes two days to finish one whole episode (“one bake per day, two days per episode”). It makes sense, since the bakes take so long and having to do everything in one day would be nearly impossible. But through the magic of television, we can’t tell because it is really that seamless. When it comes to the “hero cakes” that come out of the beloved Confectionator 3000, it’s exciting to hear those are baked on-site by members of the Crime Scene Kitchen culinary team in a “privately located kitchen on the same floor” of the studio.

Stone interjects, saying even with the contestants getting two minutes to inspect the crime scene, it’s not the same experience viewers have. “When you’re watching it at home, we give you a close-up of all the clues that we laid out. But when you’ve only got those two minutes, and you’ve got to find the clues? You’re walking into a kitchen, and you’re opening drawers and looking in dishwashers, and you forget how hard that panic thing is,” he says. “You get that real adrenaline-pumping panic mode happening, and you’ve got to try and stay calm. That’s quite different when you’re here.”

When it comes to the clues, Gampp adds it’s “crucial” to pay attention because missing one thing can harm what they decide to bake. “That could be the end of you if it’s a really important specific clue,” she says, adding how contestants should always look to the nonedible clues. “I don’t know if you agree [Curtis], but sometimes there’s a receipt or a note — something of that nature usually contains important information.”
*  *  *
As McHale’s lighthearted hosting adds a fun and zesty energy to the series, he wants everyone to know the one thing he’s been contributing all season is his appetite. “I want [everyone] to know how much f—ing food I eat,” he says. “Everyone goes, ‘You don’t eat any of it!’ I eat all of it! I eat everything! I was like, ‘If I’m on camera and there’s food in front of me, it’s weapons-free, I am eating.’ But everyone's like, ‘You don't eat any!’ so I wish they had a sidetrack of how much I eat.”
