Food Network has one of the best rosters of Halloween-themed content out of every network, especially for those who love baking shows. From Halloween Wars to Outrageous Pumpkins to The Big Bake, there are lots of different shows to watch to get you in the mood for the fall and spooky season.

In Halloween Wars, teams of cake bakers, pumpkin sculptors, and sugar artists unite to create a series of different scary treats and displays until only one team remains to win a cash prize of $50,000. So what do we know about Halloween Wars 2021?

Halloween Wars 2021 premiere date

Season 11 will begin on Sunday, September 19 at 9:00 p.m. ET with the first episode titled “Possessed Toys.” In it, the team will be inspired by a possessed doll and must make scary and delicious cakes to impress the judges.

Halloween Wars 2021 host

Ghost Adventures‘ own Zak Bagans will be making his official Food Network debut this year with a guest-starring role on Halloween Wars. It’s not entirely clear if he’s the legitimate “host” for the whole season but he’s definitely going to play a pivotal role and even help design some of the challenges for the competitors.

Halloween Wars 2021 judges

The judges for this year’s competition include Eddie Jackson, Shinmin Li and Aarti Sequeria. Li has judged every season of Halloween Wars so it’s no surprise that she’s back again and joined by other Food Network stars.

You can watch the show via cable or digital television services by turning your television on at 9/8c on the day of the premiere. The series (and all of the network’s Halloween content) will also be available to stream through the network’s discovery+ streaming platform.
