Before The Baker and the Beauty was made for American television, it was already a hit Israeli romantic comedy. Keshet Studios president Peter Traugott, who worked with the original show, told Variety he wanted to take it to the American market for years, but the timing was never right. Eventually, however, the stars aligned and now, it’s the rom-com TV show everyone needs.

Watch The Baker and the Beauty on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
