It is pertinent to mention that in early 2023, for the first time there was a season of the Professionals which was followed by an additional season of series for juniors, which was streamed during the summer. By the end of September, 2023, audiences got an opportunity to watch the weekly episodes of series 14 which Netflix has labeled it as collection 11, every Friday. The series is all set to wind up early December, 2023. It has been observed that, in the United Kingdom, the Christmas specials are titled The Great British Bake Off: Festive Specials, and Netflix always releases new episodes a year late.

That means Matt Lucas, who left the show this season, will be hosting alongside Noel Fielding and judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
