This was the latest about the show per a response on the show's YouTube page as of four months ago:

Daytime veteran Roger Howarth is heading back to “The Young and the Restless” beginning Wednesday, April 1, following a months-long absence, during which his character, Matt Clark, was arrested on a technicality orchestrated by Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) only to be released shortly thereafter. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Howarth shares that he’s spent his time off the daytime drama series with family, including wife Cari Stahler, who traveled with him to England for three months to spend time with their son, Julian and his family, as well as some time with their daughter, Colette, who also lives overseas. “It was a beautiful couple of months,” Howarth told the outlet. As for returning to the Los Angeles studio to tape new episodes of “The Young and the Restless” and what brings Matt Clark back to the canvas after his initial arc concluded late last year, Howarth teases, “Matt’s not one to sit still.” He adds, “He’s been busy — and up to no good. Matt is just as destructive as ever!” Things kick off in Las Vegas as Matt has unfinished business with Nick (Joshua Morrow), and, when they confront one another, it won’t be like the last time, where Matt returns as another persona like the one he took on last year. “There’s a shift coming up in the story that’s been a lot of fun,” previews Howarth. “They’ve given me some new people to bounce off of, and I really appreciate what Josh [Griffith, executive producer and head writer] is doing. I hope the fans like it!” Note: The post Roger Howarth Back To ‘The Young And The Restless’ As Matt Clark, Reveals Character’s Plans For Nick first appeared on Soap Opera Network. Read More

Fans of “General Hospital” finally learned the truth about Nathan West’s return to Port Charles when it was revealed on the Tuesday, March 31 episode of the daytime drama series that Ryan Paevey‘s latest turn as the good detective was not who he appeared to be since returning last year. In fact, he’s not Nathan West at all, but Cassius Faison! The big shock came at the end of the episode, when “Nathan” appeared at Wyndemere after being summoned by Sidwell (Carlo Rota), who wanted to discuss the case involving the murder of his son, Marco (Adrian Anchondo). The big bad of Port Charles is certain Sonny (Maurice Benard) had something to do with Marco’s death and wants the mob boss to pay, something which “Nathan” disagreed with, saying, “I’m not so sure that that’s something that I would do.” The comment didn’t sit well with Sidwell, who angrily responded, saying, “Well, that’s not something that Detective Nathan West would do. But I’m not talking to Nathan West right now. I’m talking to Cassius Faison.” The revelation ended there, with viewers left to ponder who exactly this person with Nathan’s face is and how, despite a DNA test confirming his identity as Nathan and his retention of memories from before Nathan’s death years earlier, he has been able to get away with impersonating the town hero. Is he a twin, someone wearing some sort of mask to look like Nathan or a convenient doppelganger? Obviously, with the last name Faison, it would appear he’s related to Cesar Faison (Anders Hove), the notorious villain who’s had it in for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and the late Luke Spencer (played by the late Anthony Geary). Regardless of who ends up being, fans will just have to tune in tomorrow to find out what’s next in the unraveling storyline.

“Beyond the Gates” stars Cady McClain (Pamela Curtis) and Jon Lindstrom (Joey Armstrong) have reached a divorce settlement regarding support and the division of property nearly two years after announcing their separation. The couple, who played on-screen love interests Rosanna Cabot and Craig Montgomery on the since-canceled “As The World Turns,” got married in real life on Valentine’s Day in 2014, only to later announce their separation in April 2024. “We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status,” said McClain and Lindstrom in a joint statement at the time. “It may be obvious to some, based on our posts, that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration, we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.” Per settlement documents obtained by TMZ, the former couple waived their rights to collect spousal support, with McClain keeping her furniture, personal property, and all assets in her possession and in her name. Meanwhile, Lindstrom retains all property in his possession and his separate assets. Their divorce will be finalized once it is signed off on by the judge overseeing their case. In February 2025, the veteran soap stars began appearing on the CBS soap opera “Beyond the Gates,” which airs in the same time slot previously held by “As The World Turns.” Note: The post ‘Beyond The Gates’ Stars Cady McClain & Jon Lindstrom Divorce Settled, Pending Finalization first appeared on Soap Opera Network.

While fans were shocked to see the fate of Marco Rios on “General Hospital” after the character succumbed to his wounds in the Wednesday, March 25 episode of the daytime drama series, portrayer Adrian Anchondo had felt, since at least August of last year, that the show might be writing his character out. He formally got notice in January, after the show returned from its holiday break. “I found out when we came back from the end-of-year break,” said Anchondo in a recent interview with Michael Fairman TV. “It was something that I kind of felt was going to happen. It was heading that direction.” “I was feeling that since August of last year. It was more a question of when it would happen and how, than if. Of course, I would’ve loved to be on this show for many, many years,” continued Anchondo. “I’ve been keeping this secret for a long time, so it’s such a relief to finally let it go. We filmed this all on January 30th, because that was the end of my contract before if it were to be renewed. So, there were a lot of things that had to be squeezed in the last week. They actually gave me a four-week warning [that it was coming], which was great.” With his character lying on a gurney as Marco’s family and loved ones mourned his passing, Anchondo notes he was emotional taping the scenes, saying, “I had tears running down my eyes. They had to cover me up because there was this finality to it all.” He adds, “I was saying goodbye, but in this most beautiful, sad way. I felt like once I’m done with this, I’m never going to see them again. But that’s not true. I’m going to continue my relationship with everyone at the show. So, I was feeling so many mixed things. I was just so grateful [for the experience].” “My heart’s beating for Van to make sure that he’s doing his best, and that he’s getting to do his best work,” said Anchondo of co-star Van Hansis, who plays Marco’s on-screen interest, Lucas Jones, while he himself is playing dead in the scene. “He killed that monologue. And you can’t tell, but I am bawling my eyes.” As for Carlo Rota, who plays Marco’s on-screen father, Jenz Sidwell, Anchondo shared, “The taping was different than the way he performed it in the rehearsal. It was very sad in the performance during the rehearsal. Something clicked in him where he is just a brilliant actor, where he has to instill fear in the audience. His job is to tell a story beyond what’s happening right there and set up for what is about to happen. He was just great. Carlo did a great job. He scared me.” “Nancy [Lee Grahn] was really emotional,” commented the actor on the actress who plays Alexis Davis, Marco’s boss. “We had grown to have a good relationship on the set.” Adrian Anchondo, Van Hansis While this is the end of his run on “General Hospital,” Anchondo is grateful for the time he got to spend in Port Charles, noting, “The amount of love that I have received from this ending has been insane. I think it’s because a lot of people were just starting to like Marco, even though I knew his heart; he was doing questionable things. So now, I’m seeing all the love that I wish I had maybe seen earlier for the character.” Meanwhile, from a story perspective, Anchondo would like to see Lucas move on and find happiness in the end. “Just because our relationship ends, doesn’t mean that he won’t find love again,” he says, in character. “I could be a stepping stone for Lucas’ true love in the future.” Anchondo shared a special message for Hansis in an Instagram story published shortly after his final episode aired, saying, “To my incredible scene partner and friend, thank you for making it so easy to fall in love with you. We really came full circle after 20 years! As much as I bawled my eyes out during your amazing performance on my last day, I’m so happy to know that our friendship will live on. Long live Lucas and Marco.” To read more about what Anchondo had to say about his other colleagues, including Kelly Tibaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne), and the advice he received from Grahn and Cynthia Watros (Nina Reeves), check out his full Michael Fairman TV interview.

While the role eventually went to Andrew Hawkes, “Days of our Lives” fan-favorite Colton Little (Andrew Donovan) recently revealed that he had auditioned for the role of WSB Director Ross Collum, which would have made the character’s recent action in Port Charles the more ironic, considering Little is romantically involved with Adrian Anchondo, who, until last week portrayed Marco Rios, whom Collum stabbed to death. “I actually auditioned and was seen by the producers for the Cullum role,” shared Little to Michael Fairman on The Michael Fairman Channel. “I went to the producers for that, and got pretty far in the process, and they ended up going with Andrew Hawkes. They had gone in a different direction. I think they were trying to figure out what to do with that character in terms of age, type, how the storyline was going to go, etc.” “They did a broad casting [process for Cullum] and then narrowed it down, but that was really cool,” continued Little. “I’ve been in for one other character since on the show. Knowing what Adrian’s experience was on the show and getting to know everybody, I’d love to get into that world.” In December, Little and Anchondo confirmed their relationship with an Instagram post, sharing several photos from their adventure in Puerto Rico and Florida. Adrian Anchondo On the Wednesday, March 25 episode of the daytime drama series, Marco was killed off, a result of multiple stabs to the chest with a knife by Cullum on the Friday, March 20 episode. In an Instagram story posted after the airing of Anchondo’s final episode on the soap opera, Little said, “Having a front row seat to @javichondo’s journey on ‘General Hospital’ taught me so much. I watched him take the high road over and over, I witnessed his work ethic and sacrifices, and I got to see how much love he shared with the cast & crew. Marco may be gone (for now), but I’m grateful I get to watch Adrian continue to shine outside of Port Charles. Onwards and upwards, baby.” Watch Little join in the conversation during Anchondo’s exit interview with Fairman below.

Earlier this month, “The Bold and the Beautiful” became the first soap opera to launch a dedicated streaming app and accompanying website that houses thousands of episodes from the show’s 39 years on television, with the first 37 seasons available at launch. In conversation with Variety television editor Michael Schneider, “The Bold and the Beautiful” executive producer and head writer Brad Bell took time out to explain the decision behind the app, and why fans should subscribe. “Fifteen-20 years ago, soap operas were dropping and dying off. They went from 20 or so now to just a handful — us and ‘General Hospital’ and ‘Days of our Lives,’” noted Bell of the state of the industry then vs. now. “It was really attention to detail, making sure that every show was special and never taking your eye off the ball, keeping the drama there, keeping people addicted to the characters in love with the families and being really an extension of their families.” As for the BBTV app, he says the idea was implemented to help engage fans in the U.S. and attract new and lapsed viewers internationally, particularly as some global markets no longer carry the show as they did in the early years. “We really want to build our community in the United States and have our viewer base even stronger and more committed as they have more access to the product,” said Bell. “We’ve had such reach over the years. The 1990s was a great time for selling American product overseas. And we were hitting all over Europe and Africa, Australia, India and over the years, some of those countries have dropped out. So this is really an opportunity to reach back to them and say that we’re here, we’re back. And wherever you left off, you can now pick us up and just continue the series as though it was never changed.” In addition to a library consisting of more than 9,000 episodes over 37 seasons, additional features available through the app and website include more than 4,000 extended “director’s cuts” of episodes never seen before in the U.S., specials produced over the years, show bloopers and outtakes, original cast auditions s – including star Katherine Kelly Lang’s (Brooke Logan) original 1987 screen test – cast party footage, behind-the-scenes videos, online chat forums for fan connection and community, past and current talent interviews, as well as the documentary “Becoming Bold and Beautiful,” produced in 2016 when the show filmed in Monte Carlo, and much more. Episodes from Season 38 and all subsequent episodes will be added as they become available. A premium subscription is required to watch and is currently priced at $5.99/month or $49.99/year.

“Forever and a Day” creator Casey S. Hutchison is bringing the next classic, high-stakes audio drama to the fast-growing digital space this summer with “Haven Falls,” a new 15-episode scripted series featuring “Guiding Light” alum Frank Dicopoulos (ex-Frank Cooper). Set in a fictional Midwestern town that bears the same name as the show’s title, listeners will come to learn that in Haven Falls, everyone has a secret, and loyalty is always up for sale. Haven Falls follows two warring families locked in a relentless battle for control, legacy, and survival. As buried sins resurface and alliances fracture, love becomes dangerous, truth becomes weaponized, and no one escapes unscathed. Frank Dicopoulos Dicopoulos will play the show’s lead character, Victor Hale, a ruthless, unforgettable patriarch whose influence reaches into every corner of the town. Joining Dicopoulos as series regulars are fan-favorite performers from “Forever and a Day,” including Elizabeth von Isser, Kristina Sullivan, Benjamin Bryant, BJ Van Griffin, Candice Mack and Ashley Stewart, among others. Blending the tradition of classic daytime drama with the freedom and intimacy of audio storytelling, listeners will be introduced to the town of Haven Falls, where love is leverage, families battle against enemies, and no secret stays buried for long. “This is soap opera in its purest form,” said Hutchison in a statement. “Big emotions. Moral gray areas. And consequences from actions that will ripple for generations.” In addition to creating and serving as co-executive producer of the award-winning “Forever and a Day,” Hutchison has, for the last nine seasons, been co-host and panel moderator of “The Chat,” a podcast where soaps and media connect.

“Days of our Lives” Elia Cantu (Jada) and Galen Gering (Rafe Hernandez) are no longer on contract at the daytime drama series, with their names now appearing in the recurring section following a recent update to the show’s end credits. “We never comment on actor contract status, but rest assured, Rafe and Jada are still in Salem,” said a show spokesperson in a statement released to Soap Opera Digest on Monday. The actors join a number of cast members not under contract, but involved in hot storylines, including Brandon Beemer (Shawn Brady) and Casey Moss (JJ Deveraux). Joining the cast of the Peacock exclusive series in October 2008, after concluding his run as Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald on “Passions,” Gering most recently faced an exit from the show back in 2020, revealing in an episode of “The Cliff Dorman Show” at the time that “I’ve got a couple of weeks of shows to do.” In the months that followed, he was back on set, taping new episodes under a new contract after the series resumed production in August of that year, following the pandemic shutdown that affected TV and film production. Cantu first appeared on the soap opera in July 2022. “Days of our Lives” enthusiast and historian Jason47 was the first to report on Cantu and Gering’s status change.

“Beyond the Gates” star Maurice P. Kerry (Randy Parker) will appear as a guest on the “We’re Out of Time” podcast hosted by Richard Taite, in an episode dropping Tuesday, March 31. In the exclusive clip provided to Soap Opera Network, Kerry reveals that he has taped his first love scene on the daytime drama series, though he didn’t reveal who it was with. “There is something coming that we have shot, and I’m proud of it. I got to see the edit, and I’m proud of it. It’s still daytime, so it’s relatively clean, but I’m very happy.” In a separate exclusive clip, Kerry discusses his desire for a “new girl” love interest on the show, saying, “I want them to write a new character for Randy’s love interest to be honest with you, because everybody on the show is sleeping with everybody, so I’m like, ‘Nah. Let’s get Randy a new girl.” Considering the show’s tape-to-air schedule is roughly five months, while writing is just about six months from script to air, it was unclear at press time when the love scene would air, or when it was taped. Kerry, who is a recurring player on the series, joined “Beyond the Gates” early in the show’s run, debuting in the third episode. The Atlanta native’s character is Hayley Lawson’s (Marquita Goings) cousin and an enforcer for mobster Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom). “We’re Out of Time,” with host Richard Taite, is available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The show has ranked #1 in the Mental Health and Health & Fitness categories on Apple Podcasts. Note: The post ‘Beyond The Gates’ Star Maurice P.

Last week, it was announced that longtime cast members Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver would be exiting “Grey’s Anatomy” at the end of the current 2025-2026 television season. On Monday, ABC formally renewed the medical drama series for a 23rd season. According to Deadline, 20th Television, which produces the series for corporate sibling ABC, has until the end of June to pick up the cast for next season, with the exception of Chandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey), James Pickens Jr. (Richard Webber), Camilla Luddington (Jo Wilson), Caterina Scorsone (Amelia Shepherd) and Chris Carmack (Atticus “Link” Lincoln), all of whom have at least another year on their current contracts. That said, Raver (Teddy Altman) and McKidd (Owen Hunt) also had another year on their deals, despite being let go. Additionally, with the show historically letting no more than two high-profile players go at a time, it’s unlikely other veterans will be exiting with them. Deadline reports that, even though the show has been renewed, the order size remains undetermined. “A renewal was expected to be accompanied by a budget cut, with a slightly reduced order than the 18 episodes the show has produced the last two seasons a possibility,” said the outlet. The show, which sees original series star Ellen Pompeo continuing as narrator and appearing in episodes in a recurring capacity, remains a global hit for Disney, which owns ABC and 20th Television. The series is the most-streamed globally across Hulu and Disney+, and ranks second overall in the U.S. across Hulu and Netflix, per Nielsen. The pickup sees the Shonda Rhimes-created series extending its record as television’s longest-running primetime medical drama. Pompeo executive produces alongside Rhimes, director and recurring cast member Debbie Allen, Betsy Beers of Shondaland and current showrunner Meg Marinis. “Grey’s Anatomy” joins the already renewed “9-1-1,” “9-1-1: Nashville,” “Abbott Elementary” and “High Potential” as scripted fare set to air on the network’s schedule during the 2026-2027 television season.

The Friday, April 3 episode of “Beyond the Gates” will not only see the folks in Fairmont Crest celebrating the upcoming Easter holiday, but it will also feature Broadway’s original Dreamgirl, Jennifer Holliday, making an appearance as herself and singing for a special friend. In the episode, Anita (Tamara Tunie) introduces Holliday at the Fairmont Crest Country Club, where the Dupree family is gathered for Easter brunch, as the legendary singer prepares to belt out a familiar tune for those in attendance.

Last year, Holliday appeared as a guest on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” to talk about her iconic role as Effie White in “Dreamgirls,” her unforgettable voice, and the emotional moment when Hudson gave her a shoutout during her 2007 Oscar acceptance speech — Hudson netted the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal as Effie in the 2006 film adaptation. “I love that we have music in the show, because music is my first love, and I’m excited about this, this Easter show,” said executive producer Sheila Ducksworth in an interview with TV Insider, published earlier this year, previewing what’s to come on the show in 2026. Since the show’s debut in February 2025, it has featured other musical acts, including Kenny Lattimore and Keke Wyatt. Check out a preview clip of Holliday’s appearance below.

Portraying the role of Sasha Gilmore on "General Hospital" for seven years before exiting the series last year, Sofia Mattsson is returning to daytime, this time as a character on "Days of our Lives." SoapSteph's Daytime Dish newsletter, produced by Stephanie Sloane (TV Guide, Soap Opera Digest), was the first to report on Mattsson's casting, noting the actress would be making her Salem debut in early 2027. Though the series is dark this week due to the Easter and Spring holidays, a photo of Mattsson, taken last week, was published in Sloane's newsletter, showing the actress posing outside her dressing room (#28). Details on who she'll be portraying or how her character will be woven into the canvas were not revealed at press time. "Days of our Lives" has an extensive tape-to-air schedule, which was recently noted to be as much as nine to ten months, which explains why Mattsson won't be seen in Salem until early next year. Mattsson was last seen on "General Hospital" in July 2025, when Sasha departed Port Charles in search of protection from a potential threat to her and her daughter Daisy's lives. Daisy is the result of a one-night stand between Sasha and Michael (Rory Gibson). In early March, Mattsson made a splash online with an Instagram post, rocking a brunette look after leaving Port Charles as a blonde. In her caption, she said, "Soaking up the LA sunshine."

CBS Media Ventures will be the distribution arm for nearly a dozen syndicated programs during the 2026-2027 television season, including the return of eight fan-favorite and award-winning shows, as well as three new titles entering the space. A division of Paramount Skydance, CMV has ordered new seasons of several first-run programs, including “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “Entertainment Tonight,” “Inside Edition,” “Hot Bench,” “Flip Side,” “The Perfect Line,” “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune.” The company’s renewals seemingly indicate that the syndication space remains a worthy investment, particularly as NBCUniversal announced earlier this month that it would be exiting first-run with the cancellations of “Access Hollywood,” “Access Daily,” “The Steve Wilkos Show” and “Karamo.” “From beloved franchises to breakout new series, this upcoming slate reflects the incredible momentum across our entire portfolio and our continued commitment to deliver top-tier original programming for our stations and partners,” said John Budkins, executive vice president of programming and syndication production for CBS Media Ventures and Stations. “With seven of the top 10 most-watched first-run syndicated titles currently on the air, we’re proud to continue to produce and distribute a wide range of high-quality shows that deliver for audiences, bringing engaging, proven entertainment to viewers in the season ahead.” New entries debuting this fall include “Adam’s Law,” produced by Judge Judy Sheindlin (“Judge Judy,” “Judy Justice”) and featuring Judge Adam Levy, as well as the high-energy extreme video program “American Mayhem,” produced by V10 Entertainment and distributed by CMV. Family-friendly stalwart “America’s Funniest Home Videos” enters syndication with episodes hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and produced by V10 Entertainment, with CMV as distributor. What follows is a breakdown of new and returning shows distributed and/or produced by CBS Media Ventures. “Adam’s Law”, produced by Judge Judy Sheindlin and featuring Judge Adam Levy, makes its debut in national syndication this fall. “America’s Funniest Home Videos”, the family-friendly stalwart hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, makes its debut in national syndication this fall.

I'm not Toups, but the dailies are correct. Not sure what happened for GH to collapse so badly, but Nielsen noted no preemptions on Friday.

The late Johnny Wactor, best known for his role as Brando Corbin on “General Hospital,” was posthumously honored by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society earlier this week with the 2026 Single Act of Heroism Award, which recognizes Americans who have accomplished extraordinary feats of heroism by risking their lives for the benefit of others in a dire situation. The event, which took place on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 (National Medal of Honor Day), comes nearly two years after Wactor was gunned down following an attempt to protect his female coworker after armed assailants could be seen trying to steal a catalytic converter from his vehicle during the early morning hours of May 25, 2024, in downtown Los Angeles. Wactor was just 37 years old at the time. Four individuals were arrested in connection with the robbery and murder of Wactor, including Leonel Gutierrez and Frank Olano, both of whom pled guilty to robbery charges, with the former getting four years in prison while the latter got five years, eight months. Charged with the murder of Wactor were Robert Barceleau and Sergio Estrada, both of whom have pleaded not guilty, and will not face the death penalty per the Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman. Their trial dates are set for early 2026. “Johnny instinctively placed himself between danger and another person, shielding her with his own body,” noted the organization in its biography of Wactor. “His courageous act saved her life and reflects his lifelong commitment to protecting others, even at the cost of his own.” “His final act was one of extraordinary courage,” noted the awards program, highlighting the Summerville, South Carolina native, born John “Johnny” Wactor III. “In laying down his life to protect another, Johnny embodied the highest ideals of sacrifice and selflessness. His actions that day reflect great credit upon himself, his family, and his home state of South Carolina. According to TMZ, which obtained video from the event, retired United States Army Command Sergeant Major Gary Littrell presented the award to Wactor’s mother, Scarlett, who accepted on Johnny’s behalf. Additionally, the outlet noted that Johnny’s mother and his younger brother, Grant, attended the ceremony in Virginia with the Medal of Honor Society covering the cost of their hotel, food, and drivers. The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is an organization that recognizes extraordinary Americans whose actions embody the values of courage, sacrifice, and service that define the nation’s highest military award for valor in combat.

The Thursday, March 26 episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show” will feature talk show host and former “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown (“Karamo”) reflecting on his journey—from breaking barriers in reality TV to celebrating his second Emmy win. According to a synopsis released by the show, Karamo gets candid about the women who shaped him, from his single mother to icons like Beyoncé, and shares why uplifting others is central to his purpose. He’ll also get candid about fatherhood, sharing the emotional moment he discovered he had a 9-year-old son he never knew about—and how stepping into that role sparked unexpected healing. From pursuing full custody to later adopting his son’s brother, he shares the joy and growth that came with building his family. He also opens up about his new podcast centered on fatherhood. With the episode taped in January, don’t expect to hear from Karamo about his daytime show’s cancellation, following NBCUniversal’s decision earlier this month to pull out of the first-run syndication business. Instead, he’ll address the final season of Queer Eye, and why he felt ready to walk away from the show, the importance of protecting his peace, and setting boundaries. Plus, he reveals his celebrity crush is Common! Check out clips from Karamo’s appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” below. Karamo Brown on Breaking Barriers for Black Reality Stars Karamo Brown on the Son He Didn’t Know He Had Karamo Confesses His Celebrity Crush & Leaving ‘Queer Eye’ Hosted by EGOT-winner Jennifer Hudson, “The Jennifer Hudson Show” was recently renewed for a fifth season.

“Tamron Hall” is the latest daytime talk show to be renewed for another season in national syndication, following “The Drew Barrymore Show,” which was picked up for another two seasons earlier this month. The ABC Owned Television Stations announced it has picked up the Tamron Hall-hosted talk show for Season 8, which will take the lifestyle program through the 2026-2027 television season. “My vision of where we’re going usually comes to me in the middle of [the] night, and all of these changes were happening,” said Hall in a statement released toVariety, which first reported the renewal news, while referring to the recent cancellations of other daytime talk shows, including “Sherri” and “Karamo,” and Kelly Clarkson‘s decision to conclude hosting “The Kelly Clarkson Show” after seven seasons. “And I said, ‘Let’s Keep Talking.’ Season 8. That’s our thing,” continued Hall, who returned to her show’s New York studio on Monday after hosting this year’s Oscars Red Carpet Show on ABC with Jesse Palmer. “I called our team, and I said, ‘Let’s Keep Talking.’ The landscape is always going to change. Some of Conan’s jokes at the Oscars, where he talked about us watching our phones to consume movies and all of these AI jokes, landed partly because the industry is fearful of these changes. So it’s not unique to daytime. I think there are obviously some big headlines. But in truth, everywhere you go, people are having the same conversation. ‘Will I keep working? Will I continue to be able to do what I love?’ That’s not unique to daytime TV. I think what we are seeing is a reflection of a larger conversation. So that’s why our theme is ‘Let’s Keep Talking,’ whether it’s on daytime TV, whether it’s in a podcast, whatever version of this. I think that will never go out of style.” During the show’s current seventh season, celebrity guests have included Mo’Nique, Priscilla Presley, Deion Sanders, Jim Gaffigan, the Chrisley family, Cam Newton, Christian Siriano, Judge Greg Mathis and Jackée Harry (“Days of our Lives”), among others. “I’m still so proud of the fact that we get news exclusives,” said Hall to Variety. “Whatever people may think of, for example, the Chrisleys, they came on our show for their first interview out of prison. Malcolm Jamal Warner’s mother was one of the most powerful interviews I think we’ve done this season. And we’ve had some of the reality stars who find themselves in a pickle. I’m still very proud when a newsmaker or a competitive booking that might go to a great show like ‘GMA’ or a ‘Nightline,’ they want to come on the ‘Tamron Hall’ show because they know that audience is engaged.” “Tamron Hall” remains Disney’s second-longest-running syndicated talk show, behind “Live with Kelly and Mark,” and next season will be one of just five daytime talk shows remaining following this season’s conclusion of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” “Sherri,” “The Steve Wilkos Show” and “Karamo.” Other shows continuing next season include “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “Live with Kelly and Mark,” and “The View.” Featuring a dynamic mix of live and taped shows, “Tamron Hall” is produced by ABC News and is distributed in national syndication by Disney Entertainment. The show broadcasts from New York City and is executive produced by Tamron Hall and Quiana Burns. In addition to its availability on ABC stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Houston, the program is also cleared on stations owned by Hearst, Scripps, Sinclair, Nexstar, AMG, Cox Media Group, Gray Media, CBS Television Stations, Fox Television Stations and Mission Broadcasting.
