Fall is in the air and we’re ready to enjoy sweater weather from the comfort of our couch. With so many reality shows that range from funny and entertaining to enthralling and disturbing, Discovery+ has favorites new and old that will help you and your loved ones usher in autumn cozily.
Welcome to Plathville
An incredibly conservative family starts to feel fundamental changes as the oldest kids turn 18 in Welcome to Plathville. Having been kept away from soda, secular music, and even public schooling, these young adults are starting to realize that maybe there’s more to the world than they ever realized.
However, exploring an exciting new world isn’t all fun and games. As the siblings begin to follow their own passions and create their own families, the pressures of balancing a relationship with their family that remains on the farm and their new lives begin to take a toll. Family members must choose sides, navigating the challenges of a family with the added strain of a religious upbringing.
Halloween Baking Championship
An all-time seasonal favorite, this scary baking competition is back! Halloween Baking Championship pits talented bakers against each other as they compete to create the most delicious (and spooky) baked goods they can. With a preliminary challenge on a smaller scale followed by a main challenge that requires more creative and detailed work, these bakers are pushed to the limits of their creativity and time management.
What sets this show apart is the blend of a strong theme, incredibly talented bakers, and the suspense that comes along with someone being eliminated every episode. While not as relaxing as The Great British Baking Show, this show certainly gets you into the Halloween mood. Who knows, you may even be inspired to create your own delicious treats for your upcoming Halloween party!
