What is The Great American Baking Show?
The Great American Baking Show has been around for some time, originally airing on ABC in the US, but after five seasons and a revolving door of hosts and judges, the network Roku is hoping to finally recreate the warm and fuzzy feeling the British version of the show provides to so many viewers around the world.

Not only does this mean that the show has signed on some incredible talent (more on that below!) but production on the series will take place in the same iconic tent as the UK series, meaning that hopeful bakers from the US will be travelling across the pond to take part in the show.
