The Future of ‘The Great British Baking Show’ in the U.S. is Netflix
Anyone who follows popular reality series The Great British Baking Show knows that the series has had something of a complicated airing schedule here in America. And it’s about to get even more so, as the series departs public broadcaster PBS and heads to streaming service Netflix.
What’s going on, exactly? Let’s try to break it down.
In the U.K., reality competition The Great British Baking Show is a monster hit known as The Great British Bake Off. (They had to tweak the name when it came to America due to some copyright issues with Pillsbury. Just go with it.) For the first seven seasons of its life, it aired on the BBC. But in 2017, the owners of the show, Love Productions, decided to head for greener pastures, decamping to rival broadcaster and commercial network Channel 4.
