Zumbo's Just Desserts is an Australian baking competition series broadcast on the Seven Network. Created by the team behind My Kitchen Rules, the show is presented by Adriano Zumbo alongside Rachel Khoo, with Gigi Falanga serving as assistant during the initial season.

In August 2018, a second season was greenlit, featuring Netflix as a co-producer. This season debuted on 17 November 2019. Notably, Falanga did not reprise her role in the follow-up season.

Background

Adriano Zumbo was confirmed as the host in February 2016, with Rachel Khoo joining as co-host two months later in April. By June 2016, Gigi Falanga was introduced as both assistant and timekeeper. Promotional materials revealed the series would air subsequent to the 2016 Summer Olympics broadcast.

Although the first season experienced modest ratings, Netflix’s global distribution helped secure a second season through a collaboration between Netflix and Seven Studios.
