Britain’s Most Beloved Series Is Officially Coming to Disney+ in 2027
A new home for Bake Off
The Great British Bake Off is set to arrive on Disney+ in early 2027, following a deal between Channel 4 and The Walt Disney Company. Channel 4’s linear programming will also appear in a section branded for the broadcaster on the streaming service.
Channel 4 chief executive Priya Dogra said the partnership would give audiences more ways to find and enjoy the channel’s shows. Her statement described the agreement as exciting.
A season of changes
The announcement comes after judge Prue Leith left the show following nine years and 90 episodes. Leith said she wanted to step back and spend summers in her garden, while leaving open the possibility of a new judge joining Paul Hollywood.
Nigella Lawson was named as Leith’s replacement. Viewers have responded positively to her appearance on the latest season, according to the article.
Strong premiere figures
The latest season’s premiere became Channel 4’s most-watched programme of the week. It also drew the largest audience of any show on British television across all platforms. Those figures place the streaming deal alongside a successful launch for the new season, as the series prepares to reach Disney+ viewers in 2027.
