Over the weekend, new episodes of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass hit Netflix. Not to be confused with The Great British Baking Show, or The Great British Baking Show: Holidays, or even The Great British Baking Show: Beginnings (pauses for breath), The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass has nothing to do with friendly competition. It is actually a bonafide cooking show.

So what’s the deal with this show and why are new episodes suddenly on Netflix? Here’s everything you need to know about The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass. 

What is The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass on Netflix?

The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass is a cooking show where the original judges of The Great British Baking Show, Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, show you how to nail the hardest challenges they put to the bakers. You know those impossible technical challenges? Well, Paul and Mary not only know how to do them, but they show us in real-time how to get it done.

What’s great about The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass is that it’s not just an instructional show, but a chance for Paul and Mary to prove their mettle. We get that their masters of their crafts, but now we can see it for ourselves. Plus, Paul and Mary have a cute chemistry inside the tent when they’re alone. (Ew, not like that! They have fun sassing each other!)

Are There Episodes of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass with Paul Hollywood and new co-judge Prue Leith?

So far, no. The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass was a off-shoot of the original BBC show that hasn’t been carried over to the newer versions. In fact, this “new” season that was just added to Netflix is in fact a very old one. This “new” season matches with the challenges set forth in an older season that you can find under Netflix’s The Great British Baking Show: Beginnings title.

Which Seasons of The Great British Baking Show Have Masterclass Seasons?

Right now, there are four seasons of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass on Netflix and they’re all kind of out of order if you’re going off of the show’s British seasons.

  • Netflix’s Season 1 of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass matches with Season 5 of The Great British Baking Show (Which is Collection 1 on Netflix)
  • Netflix’s Season 2 of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass matches with Season 4 of The Great British Baking Show (Which is Collection 2 on Netflix)
  • Netflix’s Season 3 of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass matches with Season 6 of The Great British Baking Show (Which is Collection 3 on Netflix)
  • Netflix’s Season 5 of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass matches with Season 3 of The Great British Baking Show (Which is Season 1 of The Great British Baking Show: Beginnings on Netflix)

Why Is This New Season called “Season 5”? Where is Season 4??

I don’t know, dear friend. I truly don’t know. It’s almost as befuddling as trying to braid an 8-plaited loaf, which Paul conveniently shows off in the first of the new episodes of The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass.
