How to watch The Great British Baking Show in the US
In previous years, fans have been able to access weekly episodes of the popular baking show on Netflix, three days after their UK release - and we expect this year to be no different.

Back in November last year, it was announced that the programme would return for season 13 in 2022. Netflix has since confirmed that they'll get weekly episodes once again. As Channel 4 has yet to announce the release date, the streaming platform has said that new episodes will be available in Fall 2022.
Who will be competing?
A new batch of 13 competitors will be putting on their aprons this September, but Channel 4 have yet to announce the new cast members.
However, viewers can look forward to seeing returning judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood as well as hilarious hosts Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding head into the tent.

'Love Productions' long-term commitment with Channel 4 illustrates a deep, warm, mutual respect and partnership which enables us to bring Bake Off to the widest audience possible."
Chief content officer at Channel 4, Ian Katz, added: "We are thrilled that Channel 4 will continue to serve up Bake Off's unique combination of warmth, humour and soggy bottoms for years to come.
