Just four months into its fourth season, the nationally syndicated daytime show “The Drew Barrymore Show,” hosted by Drew Barrymore, has been renewed for a fifth season, Wendy McMahon, President and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures, recently announced.

Originally set to launch its fourth season on September 18, 2023, during what would become the tail end of the since-concluded Writers Strike, producers opted to delay the new season’s start after the show came under fire for continuing without its striking writers. As a result, the talk show received a major rebuke from members of the Writers Guild, becoming a target of striking writers that led to a notable presence by picketers outside the show’s New York studio.

Despite officially returning to production in October, with the new season launching on October 16, the show’s three WGA-affiliated writers declined to return to the series, forcing production to replace them.

CBS Stations will continue as the anchor group for the daytime talk show through the 2024-2025 television season in major markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

“‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ is firing on all cylinders this season,” McMahon said in a statement. “Drew continues to catapult the show into the cultural zeitgeist with her empathetic and thoughtful interviews transporting viewers into her living room, where they feel like they are listening to a conversation between two friends that they are a part of. It’s an experience unlike any other in television. Drew is truly creating magic in daytime, and we’re thrilled to continue to bring that to our stations.”

So far this season, the talk show is averaging 1.1 million viewers and seeing growth from October to December in several key measurements, including +9% in Households and +4% in Total Viewers. In New York alone, “The Drew Barrymore Show” is up in both Adults 25-54 (+23%) and Women 25-54 (+18%).

Featuring Barrymore’s signature interview style, the show has quickly become a destination for entertainment, information, and important conversations. Composed of exclusive celebrity interviews, unique lifestyle segments, social media influencers and feel-good news stories, the show’s mission is to touch all aspects of life through Drew’s unique optimistic lens.

Recent guests have included the full cast of the new “Mean Girls” film, including Renee Rapp, Angourie Rice, Avantika, Bebe Wood, Christopher Briney, Auli’I Cravalho and Jaquel Spivey, plus guests who’ve already appeared in recent episodes or will appear in the near future such as Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Annette Bening, Dan Levy, Isla Fisher, Lucy Hale, Clive Owen, Andie MacDowell, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jamie Oliver and Chrissy Teigen, among others.

 Later this month, the show will have the full cast of “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” will appear, including Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald and Calista Flockhart. “The Drew Barrymore Show” is produced and distributed by CBS Media Ventures and filmed in New York City. Drew Barrymore and Jason Kurtz are executive producers.

    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family
