The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals is the spin off series of UK’s Bake Off: The Professionals, which currently runs on Channel 4 and is in its 7th season.

However, unlike the latter, which features amateur cooks, The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals will feature some highly professional and popular chefs competing against each other.

Netflix has not announced if the winning chefs will also win any prize money. Previously, a similar spin-off show called The Great American Baking Show of the same franchise was sold to Roku.
