Nailed It! returns for its fourth season!
Desserts worthy of gold medals, Shakespearean lore and the pursuits of Indiana Jones will be featured on the fourth season of “Nailed It!” on Netflix, which debuted April 1.
Part of season 4 of “Nailed It!” includes the social media #naileditchallenge. Starting at 9 a.m. on April 3, and continuing for three weeks, fans of the show can make their own creations with ingredients and accessories they have in their house. The best, most creative and unusual creations will be shared on the @NailedIt social channels.
Nicole Byer and Jacques Torres host the baking show which is part competition and part hot mess. Bakers compete by creating edible entries for a $10,000 prize.
The seven episodes are themed for specific moments in pop culture. The Let’s Get Lit episode focuses on creating dishes inspired by literary references. Bakers will create Shakespearean style cookies and a Moby Dick cake.
The One with the 90s Theme has bakers experiment with liquid nitrogen to make ice cream boom boxes.
The Indiana Fails and the Temple of Slop episode includes chocolate eggs and a sphinx cake. At least the bakers are not asked to make chilled monkey brains.
The Chariots of Failure episode features sports medal cookies and a swim cake topped with a waffle cone torch.
Guest judges include Adam Scott, Matt Walsh and Gabby Douglas.
