Selena + Chef consists of 10 episodes. Gomez will highlight a food-related charity in each episode.

"Having some of the best chefs open up their kitchens to me was a humbling and fun experience. I definitely discovered I have a lot more to learn," she said in a press release. "I'm also really happy that we were able to highlight and raise money for some incredible charitable organizations."

In addition to starring, Gomez executive produced the series with Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman and Leah Hariton.
