Seven brings back Zumbo’s Just Desserts and Bride and Prejudice

September 9, 2019 5:39

The tail end of the year will see some familiar faces for Seven with the announcement that both Zumbo’s Just Desserts and Bride and Prejudice: The Forbidden Weddings will return to the network “soon”.

Just Desserts first aired in 2016 where it lasted for one season before being picked up by Netflix in 2018 where the show found a second life. This will be Bride and Prejudice’s third season after it debuted in 2017.

The first episode of Just Desserts, which is hosted by Australian baker Adriano Zumbo and Rachel Khoo, brought in 1.081m metro viewers, riding high off the back of Seven’s coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, but the show quickly tumbled, hitting a low of 646,000. It was thought Seven hoped it would be a rival to The Great Australian Bake Off, but the ratings signed the show’s death warrant.
