Walter Presents comedy drama Beauty and the Baker to premiere on Channel 4

The first episode of this brand new Israeli series will air on Channel 4 in week 34, with the full series available exclusively on Walter Presents

A riotous blend of dysfunctional family comedy and romantic fairy tale, Beauty and the Baker is a classic heart-warming love story about a modern day princess and a pauper. A huge hit in Israel, the series became one of their highest rating home-grown drama series ever! The series will also become the first Hebrew language drama to air on a main terrestrial channel in the UK, representing another first for Walter Presents.

Noa Hollander is a megastar, one of the richest and most beautiful women in Israel. Amos works as a baker and still lives at home with his parents, in a cramped apartment in a Tel Aviv suburb. When he’s not helping out in the family bakery, he’s busy being berated by his domineering soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend of nine years, Vanessa. Noa and Amos are galaxies apart but when their worlds collide, sparks (and soup) fly! Can their love survive her jet-setting lifestyle and overbearing agent, his meddling family, both their exes and the media circus that surrounds them?

Beauty and the Baker is a funny, irreverent and highly addictive romantic comedy created by Assi Azar and sporting an all-star cast including Jason Lewis (Sex and the City, Brothers & Sisters) and Mark Ivanir (Schindler’s List, The Good Shepherd). A second series has just been commissioned.

Beauty and the Baker will premiere on Channel 4 in week 34, following which with the full series available on WalterPresents.com immediately after.
