When to watch The Great British Baking Show

If you love reality show cooking competitions, then this is a special time of the year. That’s because the arrival of fall means the return of The Great British Baking Show, and we’re going to tell you when and where you can watch it!

The Great British Baking Show is actually better known internationally as The Great British Bake Off. It turns out that Bake Off is copyrighted in the U.S. by Pillsbury, hence the name change over here. Fans in America can stream the series on Netflix, and it has consistently been one of the best British TV shows on the platform.

There’s a simple premise behind the ongoing popularity of this show. Each season, amateur bakers go head-to-head in order to show off their skills and demonstrate their culinary mastery to celebrity judges. The Great British Bake Off premiered in 2010, and it is about to enter its 14th season later this month. This season, Alison Hammond is taking over from Matt Lucas as the new co-host with Noel Fielding. And of course, there’s a brand new set of bakers who are ready to prove themselves to the world.

Now, it’s time to answer the burning question of when you can watch The Great British Baking Show. And if you know your way around the kitchen, you may want to recreate some of this season’s dishes for yourself.

How many episodes will there be this season?

It’s a 10-week competition, so there will be the same number of episodes released weekly. In the U.K., the finale will arrive on November 28. And assuming that Netflix maintains a weekly schedule of its own, then the season finale will have its streaming premiere on December 1.

Beyond that, it may be another year before a full season of The Great British Baking Show arrives. But the previous seasons remain on Netflix for your streaming enjoyment.

Watch The Great British Baking Show on Netflix. New episodes begin streaming on September 29.

Are you like me and already dreading the thought of making Thanksgiving dinner? Even shopping for holiday gifts for friends and family seems like a drag this year. It may sound unusual, but in stressful periods like the holidays, I like watching a good mystery filled with murder, preferably ones set in Great Britain.

Why? Well, that's more of a question for my shrink. But if you feel the same way, then I have three great recommendations for some nifty crime shows for November. Two are brand new, while one debuted two years ago on Netflix. All three are guaranteed to give you a good time ... and make you forget, for a few hours at least, about that turkey holiday looming around the corner.

If you have to watch one Hulu show this November, stream this one

Hulu has an impressive library of shows, and November brings with it the perfect season for an extensive binge watch. While there are plenty of great original series on the platform, there are also some shows on Hulu that are more archival.

If you're looking to explore a piece of TV history, then watching Lost on Hulu might be the perfect way to start. The show aired on regular old TV, so there are way more episodes than you get with your average TV series. Even so, the series was indicative of where TV was headed, and followed a group of survivors of a plane crash who find themselves on a mysterious island. Here are three reasons you should make it your November binge.

The best romance shows on Netflix right now

Although there's been a dearth of new romance shows on Netflix this fall, one of the streamer's biggest hits of the year is a romantic comedy: Nobody Wants This. Maybe that should tell Netflix something about what its fans want to see. Beyond that show, there's really nothing new to report. Instead, we'll just have to feature Ginny & Georgia, a romantic dramedy that follows a mother and daughter and their respective romances. That's an older series, but it's been renewed for two more seasons.

Since there aren't many new romance shows to dive into, you'll just have to settle for some of Netflix's originals, including Bridgerton and Eva Lasting, as well as Grey's Anatomy and Outlander. Those series and more can be found among the best romance shows on Netflix right now.
