Fox has put in a 10 episode order for another run of Kitchen Nightmares.

The show, an American version of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares which airs in the UK on Channel 4, has performed reasonably well in a difficult Wednesday night slot. It goes up against the trio of Private Practice, Bionic Woman and Criminal Minds, but has managed week-on-week ratings growth.

"I think this show is going to be on this network for a long time," said Mike Darnell, head of alternative programming at Fox.

The second season is expected to air some time next year. Although Ramsay has finished filming the run of Nightmares currently airing, production is now underway on another run of Hell's Kitchen.
