The Great British Baking Show is back and ready to dish out more sugar-coated drama than ever before. Netflix has just served us a piping hot trailer, and it’s tastier than a freshly baked scone. Get ready for ten new episodes of pure baking mayhem—where soggy bottoms are feared, dough rises to the occasion, and everyone pretends to know what “lamination” means.
So, what’s cooking? Well, here’s the gist: a bunch of amateur bakers (translation: nervous humans with a questionable amount of confidence) will face off in weekly challenges to prove they can bake more than just a sad banana bread. Their mission? To dazzle the taste buds of Paul Hollywood—who’s basically the James Bond of bread—and Prue Leith, the queen of classy snack judgment. Each week, someone’s pastry dreams crumble faster than a dry shortbread, while others rise like a well-kneaded brioche.
The stakes are high, but the puns will be higher. Someone’s getting eliminated every week (in the nicest British way possible, of course), until one lucky baker gets crowned the victor in the grand finale.
Starting September 27, 2024, every Friday will become the official day of doughy delight. So, cancel your plans, grab some tea (or wine, we don’t judge), and prepare to watch strangers panic over profiteroles like their lives depend on it.
Oh, and that new trailer? Go ahead and feast your eyes on it below. Just try not to get frosting envy. 🍰🎂🧁
