Burrell had starred on the reality cooking show since its debut in 2010, serving as a mentor to some of the “worst cooks” each season. The 29th season of the show, subtitled “Talented and Terrible,” was filmed before Burell’s death on June 17. The debut episode of the new season airs July 28 at 9 p.m. ET on Food Network.

Burrell's shocking death has been ruled a suicide after first responders discovered her dead inside her New York home.

It's Gabe Bertaccini's first season of "Worst Cooks in America." He jumped at the chance to be part of the “iconic show with the iconic Anne Burrell.”
