The Great British Baking Show Boss Is ‘Very Interested’ in an All-Star Season


Despite what Prue Leith says.

Despite having a deep benchof bakers who have prevailed in the tent since 2010, the show has never pursued a season specifically dedicated to reuniting those winners for a showstopper smackdown (though theoccasional holiday special will bring back fan-favorite contestants). Kieran Smith, Baking Show ’s longtime creative director and executive producer, says his team is “very interested” in pursuing an all-star season — “a proper ten-episode series” — and it’s a strong possibility for the near future. Although Smith is insistent that it wouldn’t be difficult to recruit from the pool of 14 victors, he admits “maybe one or two might not want to step back into the limelight again because of nerves.” (The majority of Baking Show ’s seasons have featured ten contestants, which allows for some rejection wiggle room.)
