Everything We Know About The Next Season Of 'The Great British Baking Show'

Bakers, hold on to your hats. The Great British Baking Show (or The Great British Bake Off , for U.K. readers) is back this fall, and we finally have a premiere date.

Season 12 will be available to stream in the U.S. weekly on Netflix starting September 27, and will feature a total of 10 episodes. The first episode will premiere in the U.K. three days earlier, on September 24. Expect new baking challenges and dazzling recipes that are sure to delight fans.

Netflix has been the exclusive American streaming home for the show for several years, with new seasons hitting the platform annually since 2018. Netflix subscribers can look forward to new episodes arriving just a few days after they've aired on Channel 4 in the U.K.

As usual, this season was filmed at the picturesque Welford Park . Returning to guide the new class of bakers are Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond , the latter of whom took over from Matt Lucas last year and is sure to bring her signature humor and warmth back to the tent. And of course, there is no Bake Off without our favorite judging duo, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith .
