Ana Paula Padrão returned as the host, while Érick Jacquin and Helena Rizzo also returned as judges. This season marks the debut of Rodrigo Oliveira as a judge, replacing Henrique Fogaça, who took a hiatus from the show following production of the second season of MasterChef Junior due to undisclosed personal reasons. With Fogaça's departure, Jacquin is the last remaining judge from the show's inaugural season.
