The Baker and the Beauty Is the Latest Linear TV Flop Turned Netflix Hit

Canceled after a season it has found a big streaming audience

The romantic comedy The Baker and the Beauty, starring Victor Rasuk and Nathalie Kelley following the whirlwind romance between a Miami baker and a supermodel, was canned at ABC last summer after just nine episodes. But since arriving on Netflix earlier this month, the show has become a bonafide hit.

Since the first (and only) season of the show debuted on Netflix earlier this month, the series, which is a remake of a popular Israeli series, has climbed to the top of Netflix’s most-popular television shows on the platform.
