The show comes from the creators of Making It, a craft competition series with Poehler and Nick Offerman hosting. Rudolph and Andy Samberg hosted the first season of Baking It last year, and executive produced with Poehler.
"A new batch of bakers compete in a series of thrilling and hilarious challenges designed by Amy and Maya themselves to test the bakers more than ever for the chance to win some serious money and the adoration of our beloved Baking It judges, the Grandmothers!" according to Peacock, which promises "explosions, implements of destruction, smashing cakes and more!"
December 12 also offers a holiday special, to air on NBC, with Poehler and Rudolph inviting some famous friends over to bake, compete and raise some dough for charity.
"This season's coziest cooking competition is Baking It: Season Two!" the hosts said in a statement. "This season has everything: The Grannies, crafty bakes, goofy songs about butter, cash prizes, BFFs, family, and did we mention butter? And, to make it even more exciting we'll be hosting this season together!"
