Fans of the iconic British sitcom will soon see the cast back together in the much-anticipated peep show bake off special. Channel 4 has confirmed a festive crossover titled The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off, set to air during the 2025 holiday season. The episode will feature a reunion that many viewers have been waiting for since the sitcom ended in 2015.
The special brings together several well-known cast members. David Mitchell returns as the face behind Mark Corrigan. Olivia Colman joins him, once again linked to her role as Sophie Chapman. Isy Suttie also comes back as Dobby, along with Matt King as the ever-chaotic Super Hans. Sophie Winkleman will appear as Big Suze, completing a nostalgic lineup for long-time fans.
One major name will be missing. Robert Webb, who played Jeremy “Jez” Usbourne, will not take part in the event. His absence has already sparked conversation among viewers, but the remaining cast is expected to deliver strong on-screen chemistry.
The format will follow the classic Bake Off style. The actors will take part in festive baking rounds, including the Signature, Technical, and Showstopper challenges. Each task is expected to include subtle references to the sitcom, adding a humorous twist for fans who know the show well.
Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will judge the bakes, keeping the tradition of the competition intact. The hosting duties will be handled by Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, bringing energy and light humour to the special. Their presence adds familiarity for regular Bake Off viewers and blends well with the returning Peep Show cast.
Channel 4 has not announced the exact broadcast date. However, the Peep Show Christmas Bake Off special is expected to air in the UK between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. The channel usually reserves this slot for highly anticipated holiday programs, increasing expectations for the event.
With nostalgia, comedy, and festive baking combined, the Great peep show bake off special is set to be one of the season’s standout TV events.
