The contestants make baking an artform, where the way their fancies look is of equal importance to the way they taste.
12 pairs of master bakers will start the contest, with the teams being whittled down across nine themed episodes before the grand final that will see one taking the glory and that impeccably tasteful engraved silver tray.

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.
