Gordon Ramsay's Netflix Documentary Trailer Reveals Swearing and Family Insights
Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for its upcoming documentary series Being Gordon Ramsay, showcasing the fiery chef's most ambitious career risk alongside intimate family revelations. The six-part docuseries, produced by FOX Entertainment Company Studio Ramsay Global, is scheduled for global release on the streaming platform on 18th February 2026.
High-Stakes Culinary Venture in London
The series will follow Gordon Ramsay, aged 57, as he opens five distinct culinary experiences within 22 Bishopsgate, a towering 278-metre building located in central London. This project represents a significant financial commitment, with a budget reported to be £20 million. Ramsay himself describes it as "the most ambitious project I've ever opened in my entire life", highlighting the immense pressure involved.
In the trailer, Ramsay's voiceover candidly admits, "Five businesses under one roof. If Bishopsgate was to fail, yeah, I'm f***ed." The footage captures moments of stress, such as when he learns about construction delays, including an eight-week setback that prompts an expletive-laden reaction. With heavy rainfall hampering progress, Ramsay expresses concern about the unfinished roof, asking builders, "How many weeks until we open?" Upon hearing "20 weeks", he simply replies, "S**t."
Family Perspectives on the Real Gordon Ramsay
A key aspect of the documentary is the glimpse into Ramsay's personal life, featuring his wife Tana, 51, and their six children: Megan (27), Holly (26), Jack (26), Tilly (24), Oscar (6), and Jesse (3). The trailer includes heartfelt moments where family members share their views on Ramsay away from his television persona.
Tana remarks, "People think they know Gordon... He's someone who dreams big. But you know what? He's just Gordon to me." Daughter Holly adds, "He's a very different person to what he is on set. He's just dad." Tilly provides insight into his professional demeanor, noting, "The way dad is in the kitchen, in a stressful environment, he reacts the way he does for perfection," followed by a clip of Ramsay shouting, "run the f**king food."
Audience Excitement and Series Details
Netflix's press release describes the series as "an unflinchingly honest, and heart-warmingly funny journey into Gordon Ramsay’s 100-mile-an-hour-life."

It scares the s**t out of me. This thing is gonna take balls of steel."
