Commissioned Masaharu Morimoto Sushi Contest and Cupcake Documentary Produced by Roku’s Michael Strahan

Roku is making some new original series that aren’t scripted.

The streamer has ordered the sushi competition series Morimoto’s Sushi Master and The Cupcake Guys from Michael Strahan.

Moritmoto’s Sushi Master, the first cooking competition series focused on the art of sushi preparation, is directed by Lyrica Okano (Marvel’s Run away). In the six-part series, eight competing sushi chefs will work to impress Morimoto, along with judges Chef Dakota Weiss, Executive Chef of Santa Fe’s Coyote Café and former co-owner of Sweetfin Poke, and Chef Kenji Lopez-Alt.

It comes from The invisible pilot Produced by Ample Entertainment with Ari Mark, Phil Lott, Kathryn Vaughn, Liz Cook and Masuhira Morimoto as executive producers.

The Cupcake Boys follows former NFL professional players Michael Griffin and Brian Orakpo and their business partner Bryan Hynson at their cupcake shop. The six-part docu-series follows the entrepreneurs who run a Gigi’s Cupcake franchise in their hometown of Austin, Texas.

Produced by Strahan’s SMAC Productions and The Story Lab, Strahan executive produces alongside Constance Schwartz-Morini, Fred Anthony Smith, Mike Ferry and Cathy Boxall.

elsewhere, Que deliciooso!, Roku’s first Spanish original series debuts November 25. In the series, chefs Marcela Valladolid and Chris Valdes will host and judge the seven-part competition celebrating Latin American cuisine. It was adapted from Robert Rodriguez’s World of Wonder and El Rey and produced by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, Richard Borjas, John Fogelman and Cristina Patwa.

“The addition of Morimoto’s sushi masters, The Cupcake Guys and Que deliciooso! on the Roku Originals lineup embodies our commitment to providing quality original series that are representative and reflective of our diverse streaming audience,” said Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Alternative Originals, Roku. “Each of these series offers a new take on formats we love. know they will connect with our audience immediately, and we look forward to sharing these projects on The Roku Channel.”
