“The Great American Baking Show” is more seasons, specials and spin-offs on the Roku channel and adds actor Andrew Rannells as the new co-gastheer of the growing franchise alongside Casey Wilson and Nietjes Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

Together with the main series that is being renewed for a fourth season, three of the existing foothills have been picked up for extra seasons: “The Great American Baking Show Celebrity Holiday Special” (Season 4), “The Great American Baking Show Big Game” and “The Great American 2).

In addition, Roku ‘The Great British Baking Show: Juniors’ will broadcast as a Roku original start with the eighth and ninth seasons of the show, and ‘The Great American Baking Show Celebrity Halloween Special’ launch.

Produced by “The Great British Baking Show” Maker Love Productions, the “American Baking Show” franchise is under the supervision of Olivia Laroche on behalf of Roku Originals.

Roku also expands its “baking show” library content by seasons 1-7 of “Juniors” and seasons 1-9 of “Great British Baking Show: The Professionals” to the platform, as well as other popular British competition series, including “Great Pottery Throwdown” and “” “” “” “and” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” ”

These include the following, in addition to the existing seasons “Great British Baking Show” that are currently available for streaming on Roku:

“What you see with something like ‘baking show’ is, it is one of our top artists to the originals, especially in the food space, and there is also this unique opportunity to bind the franchise to moments that matter,” said Roku Media Head of Originals Brian Tannenbaum Variety. “And so we always have the opportunity to serve our audience with ‘baking show’. So we can tailor it to the big game special when the Super Bowl happens and see how DK Metcalf of the Seahawks gets a handshake from Paul Hollywood. One of the best moments of my life in the holids. And sometimes how -that is greatness and some of my life in the entertainment.

He continued: “We can have the main series where amateur American Bakers compete for a chance of a life to become Star Baker in the tent, and then at other times – Summer, Super Bowl, holidays – we have the opportunity to use Star Power to have a little more fun, and you see more with our audience.”

While Love Productions Managing Director Letty Kavanagh confirms that there will be no changes to the application of “Great British Baking Show: Juniors” When it becomes a Roku -Original, she warned that there are limits how many more the “gabs” and “gbbs” franchises in the united kingdom can be in the united kingdom in the united kingdom in the United Kingdom -tent in the United Kingdom No Matter Matter match the content.

“Filming the ‘celebrity’ series, where there is a nicer element for baking, and where you know it does not take up much of your life as for amateur bakers who practice at a totally different level, they are easier to plan in programs in many ways,” Kavanagh said. “When it comes to the competition, we will get it, I think, in terms of how much we can film in the UK, certainly, against our failing light and weather. But we always seem to make it work and actually people are expecting rain and what not to see and we actually embrace it now.”

Earlier attempts to Americanize the ‘baking show’ have not been successful as Rokus, and Wilson attributes the success to a few factors here – one is the dedication to film in the original tent.

“Only the alchemy, or whatever it is, I’m not even sure, but I think Roku has done so good work and the original is very loyal and shoots in its original tent,” Wilson said. “And we have Paul and Prue, of which I just love everyone and they are so great together, and they have such great chemistry. But the bakers have also been great. And I also think it is very American of us that we also have a lot of celebrity specials. I think there has been a nice element of Paul and Prue, just like:” What happens there? ” But they all love to justify, such as: “Well, my cake fell because I figured out an earthquake.” They like to talk from their terrible trays, and it was a nice dynamic.

Rannells, who replaces Wilson’s former Co -Gastheer, “Severance” star Zach Cherry, starts his hosting tasks in the coming seasons, including the previously recorded “Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Summer Special” (shown above).

“After I had been a guest in the tent last year, I am so happy that Paul, Prue and Casey asked me to come to them permanently,” said Rannells. Although it was made clear to me that this time I would stay away from baking and stay exclusively on my hosting tasks. Where I choose not to take personally and actually completely good. ”
