Netflix recently announceda bigger spinoff for 2018’sNailed It, which saw three amateur bakers competing for a $10,000 cash prize and a Nailed It! trophy. TitledThe Big Nailed It Baking Challenge, the upcoming baking show will introduce two baking experts,Erin Jeanne McDowellandRobert Lucas, as they guide not just three but ten inexperienced bakers in their quest to win a sweet cash prize of $100,000. With a bigger reward on the line and more competitors in the kitchen, the forthcoming show promises to be a wild television experience, and the recently released trailer seems to be fulfilling that promise.
Nicole Byerwill return as the show’s host, alongsideJacques Torresas the judge. In the trailer, the ten contestants—with a dream of becoming great bakers—showcase their talents with all the equipment they could possibly need. Armed with kitchen tools and world-renowned pastry chefs that will teach them everything they need to learn, the 10-episode series will pit the contestants in a baking competition that aims to transform them from “Oh No to Pro.” In customaryNailed Itmanner, some of the contestants are “just going haywire,” according to Lucas. And the trailer shows some of them toppling the cake, causing chaos in the kitchen.
The Competition Show Has Been Nailing It
Nailed Itis an addition to Netflix’s extensive collection of baking shows, includingThe Great British Bake Off,Baking Impossible,Easy-Bake Battle,Is It Cake?, andBake Squad. But contrary to the mentionedreality shows,Nailed Itstood out with its premise inspired by baking fail memes on the internet. While some cooking competition shows pit contestants against each other in a highly competitive environment,Nailed Itprovided a breath of fresh air with an entertaining and less dramatic competition show, albeit one that was completely chaotic.
