Watch The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Summer – Preview
The Great American Baking Show returns with a summer-themed spin-off: a zesty palette cleanser bringing together four celebrities beneath that iconic white marquee, and who’ll face a trio of challenges as well as laugh off a few kitchen fails. It promises to be a delightful concoction featuring the effervescent Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Yara Shahidi, June Diane Raphael, and Andrew Rannells, and our guide below explains how to watch The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Summer online with The Roku Channel and absolutely FREE from anywhere.
This Roku Original is the franchise’s first-ever summer special, a spin-off to the American series itself adapted from The Great British Baking Show, a.k.a. Bake Off. Yet it hasn't lost its distinct UK flavor. Yes, there’s more key lime pie, American hosts Zach Cherry (Severance) and Casey Wilson, and spoonful’s rather than grams of sugar. But there’s no escaping the popularity of the original, as we’re reminded when our celebrity contestants enter the famous white tent on the lush green grounds of Pinewood Studios, where they’ll attempt to impress (or at least, not to poison) UK judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
A big part of the fun is in seeing these talented actors, tasked with presenting edible cakes and pies to Paul and Prue, losing their cool in the kitchen – “celebrities tend to be terrible bakers”, Roku Media's Brian Tannenbaum teases – and enjoying some good-natured camaraderie in their efforts to win the title of Star Baker…or, even more elusive, earn a coveted Hollywood handshake.
Ferguson, best known from ABC’s Modern Family, will be joined in the white tent by NAACP Image winner Yara Shahidi (Black-ish, The Sun Is Also a Star), acclaimed screen and Broadway star Rannells (The Book of Mormon), and Raphael (Grace and Frankie). And although the latter is a bona-fide triple threat in the entertainment biz (she's a comedian, actor, and screenwriter), she’s not quite as proficient in the kitchen (we hope Prue discovers the origins of that “crunchy” texture in time...!).
This bright and breezy spin-off looks to be an absolute treat. So, simply read our following guide for everything to know about how to watch how to watch The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Summer online and stream the special episode free from anywhere.
