As one of the most beloved competition-based reality shows in the world, The Great British Baking Show, or The Great British Bake-Off, has stood the test of time since its inception in 2010, becoming a flagship brand for Channel 4. Of course, as with any good TV brand, spin-offs were quickly created, with special celebrity episodes in aid of charity and a Professionals series arriving a few years later.

For many, their favorite spin-off is The Great British Baking Show: Juniors, the somehow even more wholesome offshoot that sees the most talented young bakers go head-to-head in all manner of culinary challenges. Ahead of the premiere of the show's eighth season on The Roku Channel, Collider has teamed up with Roku to deliver an exclusive look at the Season 8 trailer. Showcasing host Harry Hill back in action, alongside judges Liam Charles and Ravneet Gill, the trailer — available to watch below — gives a glimpse at the chaos ready to unfold inside the tent, as an undeniably cute group of budding young bakers put whisk to bowl in hopes of winning the iconic glass cake stand trophy and the title of The Great British Baking Show: Juniors Champion.

"Harry Hill hosts the junior version of The Great British Baking Show, welcoming a group of talented young bakers to the iconic white tent," a synopsis reads, continuing, "Judges Liam Charles and Ravneet Gill take on the tough task of crowning Britain's best junior baker." 15 episodes of the eighth season are on their way, with the first streaming on The Roku Channel on March 13, 2026​​​​​. You can stream The Roku Channel for free on Roku devices and TVs, as well as online at TheRokuChannel.com, through the Roku Mobile app, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TVs, Google TV, and other Android TV OS devices. No subscription is required.
