'Mary Berry Makes It Easy' Will Be A 'Baking Show' Reunion

When Mary Berry left The Great British Baking Show after Season 7, she refused to head to Channel 4 along with the series due to her longstanding relationship with the BBC. She's been doing stand-and-stir presentations on British television since the 1970s as the resident cook on Afternoon Plus with Judith Chalmers. She has been on the air hosting her own shows, including Mary Berry at Home, Mary Berry's Cooking the Books, Mary Berry Cooks, and Mary Berry's Absolute Favorites, to name a few.

Her latest series, Mary Berry Makes It Easy, brings the octogenarian back to television for another six-episode round of recipes based on her latest cookbook, which, naturally, is of the same name. The series aired on BBC Two in November 2023 to rave reviews in the U.K., as Berry's series usually do, followed by her holiday special, Mary Berry's Highland Christmas, which aired and streamed on PBS Passport over here during the 2023 holidays. PBS will follow Highland Christmas with Makes it Easy as part of the February 2024 lineup.

Mary Berry Makes It Easy will stream on PBS Passport for members as a binge and air on local PBS stations as a weekly series. For fans of The Great British Baking Show, the series will be an extra treat, not just as a counter to the overly-heavy Paul Hollywood version of the show that is now on Netflix or as a new weekly dose of Berry, but because the new series includes a GBBO reunion of sorts.
