‘The American Baking Competition’ lasted for just one series and suffered from disappointing ratings throughout. The only person from the ‘Great British Bake Off’ to appear was judge Paul Hollywood, who failed to draw in American viewers.

But ABC bosses are said to be confident that the show will do better this time around, if Mary Berry is part of the package. "Bosses at ABC believe Mary is the secret ingredient that the first US version of the show was missing," a source told The Sun.

“They’re about to start over here and there has even been talk about using the same marquee for filming. It doesn’t look like Paul is involved this time,” the source added. Filming for the series is set to begin soon and its not yet known wether Mary will be joined by BBC hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
