The Baker and the Beauty is not being saved. The series was cancelled by ABC last month, but those behind the series began to shop the series to other networks and streaming services.
Based on an Israeli series, The Baker and the Beauty TV show is a modern-day fairy tale that stars Victor Rasuk, Nathalie Kelley, Carlos Gomez, Dan Bucatinsky, Lisa Vidal, David Del Rio, Belissa Escobedo, and Michelle Veintimilla. In the show, everyman Daniel Garcia (Rasuk) is working in his family’s Miami bakery and doing everything that his loving Cuban parents and siblings expect him to do. One crazy night, Daniel meets Noa Hamilton (Kelley), an international superstar and fashion mogul. The pair quickly discover they have an attraction for one another and Daniel’s life suddenly turns upside down as it moves into the spotlight.
TV Line reports that a new home will not be found for the dramedy. Kelley spoke about the cancellation of the series when it happened. She said the following:
“Baker and the Beauty is a show that depicts Latin families as warm, lovable, full of joy and compassion and humor. A cancellation by ABC means that there are now no shows on the networks with a Latinx cast. At a time when the public is marching in the streets demanding representation and diversity this is an extremely tone deaf decision.”
What do you think? Are you sad that The Baker and the Beauty will not be saved? Would you have watched a second season on another channel or service?
VERY disappointed that there won’t be another season. This was the first show that I was looking forward to watch every week for many years. Poor decision to cancel this show!
Very sad a great family show such as this has been canceled. I can think of other shows that are still on that should be canceled. There’s got to be another channel that would pick this up! Keep looking!!!
I think it’s horrible! It is such an awesome show the cover such a wide variety of social issues and such a beautiful way. I just don’t get it at all.
I loved The Beauty and the Baker! Every program involving Latinos gets canceled. People don’t even give them a chance. Grand Hotel, Party of Five and Broke were also cancelled after only one season. Latinos are having the same struggle for television representation that African Americans went through. So sad!
Oh no!! I didn’t know they canceled those shows too! That’s so sad, I loved all of those! Especially Broke…
It is wrong on so many levels! I’m just disgusted. That is such a good show I don’t understand why it’s been canceled.
Amazing feel good show!!! Why was it cancelled???
i am very disappointed that this how i cancelled. I loved it. Also, it seems that every show that involves Latinos gets cancelled. Party of five, Broke, and Grand Hotel were all cancelled after just one season. Latinos are now going through the same struggle for television representation that African Americans went through. So sad!
This was a good show!!! I don’t understand why it was cancelled
Please keep looking for a home for Baker and the Beauty. I looked forward to watching this show, even though I’m African American. Everybody loves a great Love story, and I think the show does that across the board…
Would have watched another season and follow the show to another network or stream service. Was a feel good show with better numbers than shows ABC kept on air.
I’m very sad that the show was cancelled. I looked forward to it every week. Makes no sense that all the good shows get cancelled
Looks like a show that is tailor made for Hallmark Channel.
I loved this show. Yet once again, ABC cancels a beautiful family-oriented show. The only LatinX show they had. I guess we need more reality TV – more Bachelor (in paradise, on an island, in a garbage dump, whatever) and more truly dumb game shows.
I really enjoyed this show … it was different, diverse, entertaining and the cast worked well together. This is a sad day. I will miss seeing you all every week
Once again, ABC cancels another enjoyable program. I hope another network picks it up.
You keep mindless programs on. Jimmy Kimmel is still on and does nothing but politically bash Washington.
I totally agree with you. I just don’t get it I’m beginning to feel like ABC has something against an all Latin cast!! They will start it thinking it will not be a hit and then it turns into one and they don’t like it so they cancel it!!! They never promote these shows like they do the crappy ones. They always talk about diversity and how we should be equal but in reality they treat all Hispanic shows like TRASH!!!
