The Great British Bake Off 2024 begins next week!

Everyone’s favorite baking competition will premiere its 15th season on Channel 4 at 8pm on Tuesday 24th September in the United Kingdom. While official word has not been released, we hope that new season will then air on Netflix in the US on Friday, September 27th. Fingers crossed. Updated: Netflix has announced that the show will air in the US on the 27th of September!

Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will be back to offer their commentary and comic relief, as another batch of bakers submit themselves to the pressure of the competition. Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be back to offer their thoughts on this year’s bakers. This season’s trailer can be found here.
