Roku is doubling down on dessert and delight. The streaming giant announced today it’s expanding its partnership with Love Productions to deliver a buffet of new and returning titles from The Great American Baking Show and its popular UK cousins. Fans of the feel-good franchise can expect fresh Roku Originals, first-time U.S. debuts of international library content, and a brand-new co-host in actor Andrew Rannells.
The deal includes season 4 of The Great American Baking Show, alongside several returning themed specials like the Celebrity Holiday Special, Big Game, and Celebrity Summer. New to the rotation is The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Halloween Special, which brings spooky spirit to the famous baking tent.
Roku is also serving up a piping-hot premiere of The Great British Baking Show: Juniors, with seasons 8 and 9 launching as Roku Originals. In a move sure to excite longtime fans, Roku will debut seven earlier seasons of Juniors in the U.S. for the first time, along with major additions to its British lifestyle library.
