Developed by Dean Georgaris, The Baker and the Beauty is a romantic musical dramedy that premiered on ABC on 13th April 2020. The show is adapted from the Israeli romantic-comedy series Beauty and the Baker by Assi Azar that ranks as one of the highest-rated series in Israel’s television history.
During the new show’s panel at the winter TCA press tour, Showrunner Dean Georgaris shed some light on the differences between the American show and the Israeli version.
The Israeli show stayed focused primarily on the baker and the beauty, and it was a half-hour show. We were able to expand it for the hour and really make it about the entire family, which sets us apart and lets us do family stories which we can all relate to.
As per IMDb, the premise reads:
A blue-collar baker strikes up a relationship with an international superstar. US version of the Israeli romantic comedy series ‘The Baker and the Beauty’.
The ABC show is set in Miami, Florida, and features a predominantly Latino cast. Nathalie Kelley plays the role of Noa Hamilton on ABC’s The Baker and the Beauty. Noa is a famous Australian model and entrepreneur who gets romantically involved with a baker named Daniel Garcia (Victor Rasuk) after breaking up with a movie star Colin Davis (Noah Mills).
