The contestants make baking an artform, where the way their fancies look is of equal importance to the way they taste.

Can I watch The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals 2024 in the US?

Much like the main show, the US dubs this quintessentially UK offering as The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals and it goes out on Netflix.

However, Netflix is way behind the Channel 4 in terms of when it airs this spin-off show. The streaming giant is currently two seasons behind, having made 2022's season 7 available on the platform last year.

On that basis, we would predict that The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals 2024 won't land be available to watch on Netflix in the US until sometime in 2025. No release date has yet been announced.
