While the show’s current 12th season has performed sluggishly in the ratings, often ranking last in both Women 18-49 and Women 25-54, CBS’ “The Talk” will be back for a 13th season, the network announced during today’s live broadcast of the series. “The producers are just telling me there is some breaking news,” shared co-host Natalie Morales who joined the panel in October 2021. “This is just coming in right now, ‘The Talk’ has been renewed for Season 13.”

Following audience cheers and drops of virtual confetti onto the show’s set, Akbar Gbajabiamila said, “That was crazy, this feels so good.” Meanwhile, Jerry O’Connell joked, “Now I know why all our bosses showed up today.” Gbajabiamila joined the panel in early September 2021, just days before the show’s current season premiered. He became the show’s second-ever male co-host following O’Connell’s joining as the first male co-host in July 2021.

In addition to the show’s renewal, all five co-hosts will be returning, including the aforementioned Morales, Gbajabiamila, O’Connell, Amanda Kloots and Sheryl Underwood. Kloots joined the panel in January 2021 and Underwood has been with the show since the show’s second season. In early March it was announced that Underwood would be staying at “The Talk” for at least three more seasons (bringing the show to season 15), in addition to signing a two-year first-look development deal with CBS Studios.

Behind the scenes, executive producers Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews will also be back.

Today’s renewal for “The Talk” came earlier than last year’s, showing a vote of confidence from the network now that all decks are steadily in place moving forward. Last June, when announcing the show’s then 12th season pickup, the talk show had been down two co-hosts following the controversial departure of Sharon Osbourne and the ongoing hiatus of Carrie Ann Inaba.

In February, “The Talk” hit a season high in Total Viewers with the show’s best performance since April 2020 when it hit 1.662 million viewers. The show is one of few bubble talk shows this season to get another season. Nearly a dozen other shows, particularly those airing in national syndication, have been canceled and won’t be returning next season, including “The Wendy Williams Show,” “The Nick Cannon Show,” “Maury,” “The Good Dish,” and “Dr. Oz,” among others.

Season 12 of “The Talk” will remain in production through August 5, 2022. Since its debut in October 2010, the show has won 14 Daytime Emmy Awards (Outstanding Talk Show Entertainment 2016, 2018; writing 2015; host 2017) out of 58 nominations.  The 13th season of “The Talk” is expected to premiere sometime in early September 2022.

    • Did I ever say that? I actually don't want to, but I have no problem doing so when I feel it's truly warranted. Case in point. I'll be more respectful about how you're involving yourself in these kind of discussions when you consider doing the same. Believe me when I tell you the way you attempt to dress up this attitude has placated no one, and this is not a minority forum opinion. It is easy enough, for example, to simply say that "I think many of us have underrated JFP's skills as a woman producer in an overly misogynistic industry". It's a lot easier than spending paragraph after paragraph amusedly shaking one's head while talking down to the clueless proles of SON about their blinkered, reductive opinions. And yes, I am saying that many of us have spoken up crediting Phelps for the skills she obviously has as a technical whiz and line producer. There's nothing out of turn about acknowledging that many posters know where she excelled. Or talking about where she clearly (for many of us) didn't. You don't have to agree, but you could try listening to someone other than yourself.
    • It’s a recurring tension in Daytime: the willingness to take risks can fuel a show's longevity, but the actresses themselves often bear the long-term consequences of audience backlash.
    • I pray Eva never lets Dana back into her life, because she deserves better. Dana isn't a mother, nor is she a parent.
    • Daphnee's performance very much reminded me of Anna Holbrook's on Another World when Sharlene was dealing with John and Felicia's affair. Angry but well controlled and believable. A good start for an Emmy reel. If there is one thing an evil Black mother is going to do, it is lock you out the house. Eva shouldn't have even bothered to go home.  Leslie calling Martin "Mr. President" was interesting. How much exactly does she know about the family and has someone higher up sent her to cause trouble? Anita's speech to Leslie was dignified like Geraldine Whitney (EON) or Kim Hughes (ATWT) would have gone off on somebody.
    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol
