Food Network's "Sweet Deceit" pairs linear cable debut with next-day HBO Max streaming

Food Network launches "Sweet Deceit," a cake-detection competition hosted by Josh Peck, on October 5 at 10 p.m. ET, with next-day streaming on HBO Max. Produced by Lando Entertainment, the 16-episode series spans two themed runs — Halloween and holiday — and brings a format proven on Netflix's "Is It Cake?" onto a linear schedule with a streaming day-after window.
