The Great British Bake Off 2024 is on the way (or The Great British Baking Show if you are in the US!), and with the series now heading into its 15th season, it is fair to say it's a staple in our annual TV calendar.
Once again we will see a new batch of amateur bakers heading into the famous Bake Off tent to work their magic and hopefully impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood. But who will be getting a famous Hollywood handshake and potentially joining the long list of Great British Bake Off winners?
Here is everything we know about this year's series...
The Great British Bake Off 2024 release date
While it is too early to have a confirmed date for The Great British Bake Off 2024, the show traditionally airs in the autumn and usually consists of 10 episodes.
If past years are anything to go by, we should see the show back on Channel 4 at the end of September in the UK. The show usually airs on Tuesday evenings, so Tuesday, September 24 could be a possible return date, but we will confirm this as soon as anything is announced.
You can catch up on past seasons at Channel4.com
In the US all episodes of The Great British Baking Show 2024 will air on Netflix along with all episodes of last year's show.
The Great British Bake Off 2024 contestants
It's too early for this year's contestants to be announced, but we do know that applications for the show closed earlier this year and production for the new series is well underway.
We will update this guide as soon as the contestants are announced.
The Great British Bake Off 2024 judges
The Great British Bake Off wouldn't be the same without original judge Paul Hollywood and his infamous handshake, and he is back once again for the fifteenth season of the show.
Joining Paul once again is Prue Leith who has also become a much-loved part of the show since it arrived on Channel 4.
The Great British Bake Off 2024 hosts
Noel Fielding is back for another year in the tent and will be joined once again by Alison Hammond, who joined the show last year after Matt Lucas stepped down from his presenting role.
Is there a trailer for The Great British Bake Off 2024?
Not yet, it is still a bit early. But as soon as Channel 4 releases one we will add it to this guide.
Who won The Great British Bake Off 2023?
Matty Edgell was crowned winner of The Great British Bake Off 2023 after nudging ahead of Josh and Dan after the trio were tasked with a choux pastry signature, a lard cake technical challenge and a celebration cake showstopper in the final.
Matty thrilled the judges with his impressive showstopper, which was a three-tiered cake, with Paul admitting it was one of the best sponges he'd eaten in years.
