When to watch The Great British Baking Show

If you love reality show cooking competitions, then this is a special time of the year. That’s because the arrival of fall means the return of The Great British Baking Show, and we’re going to tell you when and where you can watch it!

The Great British Baking Show is actually better known internationally as The Great British Bake Off. It turns out that Bake Off is copyrighted in the U.S. by Pillsbury, hence the name change over here. Fans in America can stream the series on Netflix, and it has consistently been one of the best British TV shows on the platform.

There’s a simple premise behind the ongoing popularity of this show. Each season, amateur bakers go head-to-head in order to show off their skills and demonstrate their culinary mastery to celebrity judges. The Great British Bake Off premiered in 2010, and it is about to enter its 14th season later this month. This season, Alison Hammond is taking over from Matt Lucas as the new co-host with Noel Fielding. And of course, there’s a brand new set of bakers who are ready to prove themselves to the world.

Now, it’s time to answer the burning question of when you can watch The Great British Baking Show. And if you know your way around the kitchen, you may want to recreate some of this season’s dishes for yourself.

When can we watch new episodes of The Great British Baking Show?

The season premiere is now streaming on Netflix. You can now meet a whole new set of bakers and marvel at all their delicious dishes.

How many episodes will there be this season?

It’s a 10-week competition, so there will be the same number of episodes released weekly. In the U.K., the finale will arrive on November 28. And assuming that Netflix maintains a weekly schedule of its own, then the season finale will have its streaming premiere on December 1.

Beyond that, it may be another year before a full season of The Great British Baking Show arrives. But the previous seasons remain on Netflix for your streaming enjoyment.

Watch The Great British Baking Show on Netflix. New episodes begin streaming on September 29.

In the heat of summer, finding a great TV show can be like finding water in the desert.

June is typically the time of swimming pools, baseball games, and ice cream cones, but who says you can't have a little murder, too? Not in reality, of course, but on TV, where it's safe to view the odd homicide now and then. There's always a surplus of crime shows available on streaming services, and most of the good ones hail from the United Kingdom.

Why? I have no idea, but I'm glad they are there for me to binge. This June, we're recommending three thrilling series from the past and present. One is a classic Clive Owen mystery while the other two are relatively new shows that have their fans. All are guaranteed to give you a killer good time.

Netflix’s hit show Baby Reindeer just did the most amazing thing
A man sits and looks sad in Baby Reindeer.

Chances are by now, you've either seen Baby Reindeer or heard about it. The Netflix show, about a Scottish comedian being stalked by an unstable woman, has been the most-talked-about streaming show of 2024, with many weighing in on the show's themes of sexual abuse, trauma, and obsession. Heck, there's even a multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed against Netflix and awards talk surrounding its three lead actors Richard Gadd (who also wrote and created the show), Nava Mau, and Jessica Gunning.

And all the talk and hype is deserved, as Baby Reindeer is terrific. I recently proclaimed it as the best Netflix show of the year, and that's due to its multilayered portrait of lonely people trying desperately to find some sort of connection that their past traumas keep preventing them from initiating. The show has consistently ranked near the top of Netflix's 10 most popular shows each week, and now, it's reaped another achievement.
