The seventeenth season of the reality series Hell's Kitchen (also called Hell's Kitchen All Stars) began airing on September 29, 2017 on Fox. This season marks the first in Hell's Kitchen history to have an all star edition as sixteen former contestants return to compete once again, and the winner of this season will receive the position as head chef at the first-ever Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen Restaurant at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. All of the returning chefs made it onto the Black Team in their respective seasons. Gordon Ramsay returns as host and head chef, Season 10 winner (and Season 15 sous-chef) Christina Wilson returns as the Red Team's sous-chef, and British Masterchef judge James "Jocky" Petrie makes his Hell's Kitchen debut as the Blue Team's sous-chef. Marino Monferrato returns as the maître d'.

This was the first season since Season 14 and second since Season 9 to feature only one team reassignment. It was the fourth season overall, and second in three, to feature both a chef eliminated from the winning team and another chef eliminated during service, as well as two eliminated by Ramsay's nomination and three eliminated without participating in a dinner service. It was also the first season ever where one team (red) sent only one chef to the black jacket round. It was also the first time since Season 13 that both teams won the same dinner service.
