What is Being Gordon Ramsay about?
According to Netflix, the docuseries follows Gordon, one of the world's most famous chefs, in the lead-up to the opening of 22 Bishopsgate.
The synopsis reads: "This is Gordon as we have never seen him before as he opens the doors to his home and businesses. Over a six-month window, the expansion of his restaurant empire begins to take shape and, with the official launch fast approaching, we see Gordon balance the challenges that come with it with his life as a husband to Tana, and father to their six children."
What happens in the trailer?
In the trailer, Gordon describes the process of launching five businesses under one roof as "the most ambitious project I've ever opened in my entire life".
"If Bishopsgate was to fail, yeah I'm [explicit]," he admits. Later, the trailer also features interviews with Gordon's wife, Tana. "People think they know Gordon," she says.

The clip then pans to a hilarious moment when Tana is reflecting on their 30-year relationship, before Gordon abruptly pauses the conversation to grab a coffee. "He drives me mental!" Tana adds affectionately.
Elsewhere, Gordon's chef daughter Tilly explains how her father reacts the way he does on TV in the pursuit of "perfection", while his second-eldest daughter Holly adds: "He's a very different person to what he is on set. He's just dad."

"I still remember my school uniform having holes in my secondhand trousers. There's always a needle of fear you're gonna lose it."
As the pressure mounts for 22 Bishopsgate to succeed, the clip ends with Gordon saying: "There's so much riding on this – reputationally, financially, you have to be better than good. It scares the [explicit] out of me."
Being Gordon Ramsay lands on Netflix on 18 February 2026.
