AceShowbiz - Drew Barrymore’s daytime talk show has secured a renewal for two additional seasons, extending its run through the 2027-28 television season. This continuation comes from stations owned by CBS, Sinclair, and Nexstar, with production and distribution handled by CBS Media Ventures.
The show’s renewal follows a record-breaking season, marking its highest viewership since debut. Averaging 1.6 million daily viewers, The Drew Barrymore Show has outperformed many competitors in a difficult daytime TV landscape. It also boasts a substantial digital and social media presence, with 14 million followers across various platforms.
"What matters most to us is our viewers and the people that come here! This show began as a space for intimate conversation, and we're continuing to plant our flag as a truly multiplatform experience," Barrymore shared in a statement. She emphasized the program’s goal of breaking traditional daytime TV molds by engaging audiences across multiple platforms since its launch in 2020. Barrymore expressed gratitude for the support from CBS and executive George Cheeks, highlighting the show’s unique approach and connection to viewers.
Alongside The Drew Barrymore Show, The Jennifer Hudson Show also received renewals for the upcoming seasons. Both programs will benefit from a less crowded daytime schedule next year, as The Kelly Clarkson Show and Sherri conclude their runs later this year. CBS noted that The Drew Barrymore Show will be broadcast in improved time slots in several major markets, including Seattle and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Executive producer Jason Kurtz praised the show’s success, attributing it to Barrymore’s authenticity and trendsetting influence. "Drew is the original influencer - a true trendsetter and culture-driving force who has consistently stayed ahead of the conversation," he said. Kurtz highlighted how the show challenges daytime television conventions by delivering content that thrives in a multiplatform environment, with Barrymore’s genuine personality at its core.
This renewal solidifies The Drew Barrymore Show as a significant player in daytime television for years to come, maintaining its innovative spirit and strong connection with audiences both on-air and online.
