‘The Great British Bake Off’ Likely To Stay On Channel 4 Amid Speculation Over Netflix Move


'The Great British Bake Off' is likely to remain on Channel 4 amid rampant industry speculation that Netflix and others attempted to poach show.

Deadline understands that Channel 4 is closing in on a new UK deal for The Great British Bake Off amid widespread industry speculation that Netflix was prepared to swoop for the Love Productions hit. Deadline hears that Love fielded interest from other parties, with Netflix seen as a credible suitor given the streamer carries the series in the U.S., where it is known as The Great British Baking Show. Eight years on, Bake Off remains one of Channel 4’s biggest shows, cooking up audiences of up to 7.8M last season, when Alison Hammond debuted as Noel Fielding’s co-presenter.
