The Great British Bake Off is hitting the States next Friday

American fans of the Great British Bake Off can finally unclench, as we now have an official U.S. air date for the next season of everyone’s favorite baking show/feel-good screen therapy. Netflix announced that this season — which was filmed in a coronavirus quarantine bubble over the course of four weeks earlier this year — will start streaming on Friday, September 25, with new episodes available every Friday (three days after they premiere in the U.K.).

The new season will feature some key differences, among them new host Matt Lucas replacing Sandi Toksvig (don’t worry, Noel Fielding will still be there), and a lack of judge Paul Hollywood’s signature handshake because, you know, best not to promote skin-on-skin contact right now. It’s likely that there will also be plenty of references to the pandemic, judging from the trailer poking fun at the flour shortage that defined the early lockdown period. Should be interesting!

For further details about this season, including a list of contestants as well as weekly mini recaps, our pals — sorry, mates — at Eater London have got you covered.
