To help viewers out, we're sharing below what we know:

Will the new season of The Great British Baking Show be on Netflix?
Historically, most U.S. viewers have been able to enjoy The Great British Baking Show on either Netflix or PBS. While Netflix has hosted previous seasons of The Great British Baking Show along with various holiday specials, the streaming platform does not currently house any of The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off seasons. Knowing that, we're predicting that the newest season will likely not be available on Netflix. At this point, it's unclear whether PBS will carry the series either.
Where is Noel Fielding?
Unfortunately, Noel won't be joining his fellow cohost Matt Lucas in the tent this spring. According to Metro, Noel is skipping the season to be at home following the birth of his second child, a baby girl named Iggy, with his partner, Lliana Bird. The couple is also parents to a daughter named Dali, whom they welcomed in 2018.
