Everyone can relax, because more Nailed It! is on the way. Netflix has announced that the baking fails extravaganza show will return for Season 3 on May 17. A reality competition show wherein extremely amateurish bakers strive to make something edible and compete for $10,000, Nailed It! was one of the streaming services big breakout hits last year. Along with Queer Eye, Nailed It! really helped establish Netflix as a dominant player in the reality TV genre last year and it made for one sweet and satisfying binge watch.
Host Nicole Byer and head judge Jacques Torres return for Season 3, which will also feature guest judges actress Felicia Day, baker Natalie Sideserf, comedian Betsy Sodaro, YouTube baking star Rosanna Pansino, and pastry chefs Hubert Keller and Charles Phoenix.
Season 3 will also provide a whole lot of wild and crazy challenges for the competitors, which will involve them making cakes based on Marvel superheroes, creepy clowns, dinosaurs, and much, much more. Here’s the official Season 3 episode guide courtesy of Netflix:
- The Marvel Episode! — The bakers summon their not-so-super powers to make Marvel-themed cupcakes with detailed cookie toppers and a daunting “Black Panther” cake. Actress and gaming icon Felicia Day joins the judge’s panel.
- Cake-O-Phobia — What’s scarier than a cook who can’t read a recipe? A trio of creepy-crawly bug cookies and a terrifying clown cake that tastes like cotton candy. Baking magician Natalie Sideserf joins the judge’s panel.
- Masterpiece or Disasterpiece? — The amateur bakers attempt to imitate the masters with gingerbread self-portraits and a sculpted cake replica of Michelangelo’s “David.” Actress and comedian Betsy Sodaro joins Nicole and Jacques on the judge’s panel.
- Prehistoric Bakes — The contestants turn back time — and mangle time management — with inside-out Neanderthal cupcakes and a tropical-flavored T. rex cake. YouTube sensation and baker Rosanna Pansino guest judges.
- Oui Can’t Bake! — The pressure’s on to make perfectly puffed éclairs and a layered bust of Napoleon Bonaparte for not one but two esteemed French chefs as esteemed pastry master Hubert Keller joins the judge’s panel.
- Ready to Wear, Ready to Eat — Two high-fashion challenges put the bakers’ hopeless skills to the test: fondant-covered doll cakes and an edible headdress heaped with fruit. Humorist and pastry chef Charles Phoenix join Nicole and Jacques on the panel.
In the year since Nailed It! debuted, the comedy cooking competition has launched its own mini franchise. We got two seasons of Nailed It! last March and June, and then a spinoff season of Nailed It! Holiday! last December. And earlier this year, Netflix released a season of Nailed It! Mexico, hosted by comedian Omar Chaparro and chef Anna Ruiz. Now we’re getting a third season of the OG Nailed It!–and we cannot wait.
Nailed It! returns for Season 3 on Netflix May 17, 2019.
