A new baking show is set to premiere next month, so make sure you're caught up on all of your other favorites like Great British Bake-Off and Nailed It. This new competition, called Crime Scene Kitchen, follows a totally different set-up than most baking shows and will require contestants to decipher clues in order to figure out what they are required to bake.

Hosted by Joel McHale, Crime Scene Kitchen will have teams of two search through the set for clues like crumbs, flour trails, and crusty whisks in order to figure out what the baking theme is for that round. Once they figure it out, they'll have to bake their version to the best of their ability and present it to Chef Curtis Stone and Yolanda Gampp, who will be the series judges.

A $100,000 prize is at stake and the competition is set to premiere on May 26 on FOX. The premiere will air right after the season finale of The Masked Singer and will continue on Wednesday nights through the summer.

In a story by The Hollywood Reporter, Joel expressed his excitement to be a part of such a creative cooking show. "I'm deeply excited to be partnering with Fox and Fly on the Wall to host Crime Scene Kitchen," he said: "Hosting a show where bakers try to figure out and then duplicate a dessert from just crumbs, crusty whisks and a soiled electric mixer seems like a lot of fun and reminds me of college. Can't wait. I've already picked out my apron."
