Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancels or renews the show for season five? Though the ratings are small, the series is cheap to produce so, I suspect it will get a renewal. Also, this year the network has added the subtitle, “Holiday Edition,” which seems to suggest they’ll be rolling out a non-holiday edition during the year. I’ll update this page with any developments. Subscribe for free alerts on The Great American Baking Show cancellation or renewal news.
