DEADLINE Rod Aissa, EVP Unscripted, Documentary & Lifestyle, recently told Deadline that he considers _Below Deck_ a “perfect” reality series and that it was looking at spinoffs for the

streamer. ‘Joe Exotic’ Series Starring Kate McKinnon To Stream Exclusively On Peacock As NBCU Reverses Cross-Platform Plan “You have people coming in for a week, so there’s always new

characters that come in, in terms of the guests,” he said. “You have a crew that is getting to know each other, and relationships are evolving over the course of the season. You have these

drop-dead gorgeous backdrops — you just want to be there, and you want to be on the boat, and you want it to be served by these great people that are running the boat.” Amy Poehler’s DIY

competition series _Making It_ is getting an appropriately titled cake-based spinoff _Baking It_. Peacock has ordered six episodes of the show from Universal Television Alternative Studio in

association with Paper Kite Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment. Poehler, Nicolle Yaron, Pip Wells, Kate Arend and Dave Becky serve as executive producers. The holiday event series sees

teams of two talented home bakers compete with their most delectable savory and sweet edible creations for a cash prize with judges including three opinionated real-life grandmas, who happen

to be fantastic bakers themselves. The streamer has not revealed the hosts of the show but said _Parks & Recreation_ star Poehler would hand the hosting reigns over to “two celebrity

friends”. _Top Chef Family Style_ is a spinoff of the Bravo reality series. It will be hosted by Meghan Trainor, who recently signed a cross-platform overall deal with NBCU with James Beard

Award winner and cookbook author Marcus Samuelsson as head judge. The family culinary competition will feature talented young chefs who will each team up with an adult family member partner 

to compete for a chance to be crowned champions. It is produced by Magical Elves with Casey Kriley, Jo Sharon, Hillary Olsen and showrunner Claire Kosloff serving as executive producers.

Finally, _American Ninja Warrior Junior_ is moving from Universal Kids to Peacock. The kids spinoff of the competition series has been handed a three season order with 15 episodes ordered.
