When Season 1 of tasteMAKERS debuted on Nine PBS in October 2018, the artisan food movement was in full swing—and it’s still going strong, gaining market share and fans. Emmy-winning producer and host Catherine Neville captured the zeitgeist five years ago and is back with the third season of her award-winning series.
Nine PBS was the presenting station of tasteMAKERS in 2018 and its Season 2 follow-up. The series, which showcases bread bakers, cheese makers, distillers, brewers, and more, is distributed nationwide through American Public Television.
Season 2’s Ramona Farms episode won the 2021 M.F.K. Fisher Prize from Les Dames d’Escoffier International, and the series was nominated for a 2021 Daytime Emmy Award.
In Season 3, Neville profiles people who approach their work with a focus on authenticity, quality, and sustainability. The six-episode new season explores the food world through the lens of innovation. From a look at sustainable seafood at an inland shrimp farm to a doctor who is peppering abandoned urban spaces with bee colonies, Cat takes viewers into the lives of makers, farmers, and chefs to discover stories that engage, educate, and inspire.
Season 3 premieres Monday, November 6, 7:30 pm, with rebroadcasts on Saturdays at 6:30 pm on Nine PBS and livestream. Watch new episodes and previous seasons at ninepbs.org/tastemakers or on the PBS App.
