Netflix Serves Up Matty Matheson’s Gonzo Cooking Series ‘Just A Dash’

EXCLUSIVE: Matty Matheson, the restauranter who stars in FX’s The Bear, is heading to Netflix.

The streamer has acquired the exclusive global rights to Season 3 of his cooking series Just A Dash.

It marks the latest example of a show that started on YouTube – Matheson launched the series on his own channel in 2019 – and has now migrated to Netflix. The streamer has previously become the home for series such as The Sidemen’s Inside and dating show Pop The Balloon, which started on the Google-owned service.

Netflix will also house the first two seasons of the show and will launch them all on January 20, 2026.

Just A Dash sees Matheson, who was the executive chef at Toronto restaurant Parts & Labor before launching his own Matty’s Patty’s Burger Club and Prime Seafood Palace, cook up a storm. One person described it as if “Martha Stewart and HP Lovecraft had a child and filmed it”.

The first two seasons, which consisted of 12 episodes each, were filmed in Matheson’s own kitchen. This season will see him hit the road with “no kitchen and no plan”.

Chris Wardle, who worked on the show as well as series such as Benny Blanco’s Eat Out America and various Vice series, wrote, directed and exec produced with Matheson also writing and exec producing.

Matheson, who is repped by WME, had clearly been searching for funding for the third season for some time. In another video posted to his YouTube page, he said, “In the comments section, it’s like… ‘Where’s Just A Dash [season] three’. Yeah, I’d like to know too. Is there a billionaire person out there… we don’t even need a billionaire, is there a multi-millionaire out there that loves Just A Dash and wants to pay for it and make the craziest season of all time?

Matheson, who plays handyman Neil Fak in The Bear, also called season three “possibly the most insane TV show ever created in the culinary world”.
