Earlier this week, CBS announced the renewal of its nationally syndicated daytime talk show, “The Drew Barrymore Show,” for two additional seasons, bringing the chatfest through the 2027-2028 television season and covering stations owned by CBS, Nexstar and Sinclair, where it’ll see significant time period upgrades in seven of the top 40 markets.

Produced and distributed by CBS Media Ventures, the Drew Barrymore-hosted talker is an anchor across CBS Stations in several major markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Along with its renewal, beginning this fall, the show is receiving time slot upgrades in Seattle, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Charlotte, Baltimore, Kansas City and Cincinnati. 

Currently in its sixth season, “The Drew Barrymore Show” has emerged as daytime television’s fastest-growing talk show, celebrating its most-watched season to date with 1.6 million daily viewers, while also becoming a solid multiplatform performer, where it has expanded its digital and social footprint to more than 14 million followers across platforms, with engagement up +47% year over year. 

“Drew is the original influencer – a true trendsetter and culture-driving force who has consistently stayed ahead of the conversation. The success of this show is rooted in the fact that Drew shows up as her unfiltered, authentic self every single day, continually challenging the conventions of daytime television and reimagining what the format can be in a multiplatform world,” said Jason Kurtz, executive producer, “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

“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,” said Barrymore. “We live in a world where people discover content in so many different ways, and from the very start in 2020, our mission was to break the mold rather than conform to the traditional daytime landscape.”

“I hold myself accountable to staying savvy about how and where this show is seen – feeding every corner that counts, while daring to just be myself and figure out life with others,” continued Barrymore. “My curiosity about people is what fuels me. I’m so excited to continue as I see this endeavor as an opportunity and a gift. Our show family is deeply grateful for the support of CBS and George Cheeks [Chair of TV Media at Paramount, a Skydance Corporation], who all helped us get here.”

The renewal of “The Drew Barrymore Show” comes just weeks after Telepictures/Warner Bros. Television Distribution ordered a fifth season to fellow daytime talk show “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” and comes as the talk landscape prepares to say goodbye to the likes of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” “Sherri,” “Karamo” and even “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” each of which are ending their multi-season runs with the 2025-2026 television season.

I'm happy for Drew. The times I have watched, I was entertained. The daytime landscape is most definitely changing. I'm not sure it's for the best or not; only time will tell. At least the soaps appear to be holding their own in the ratings.

I am so very happy for Drew. With Kelly Clarkson ending her talk show, this show will be my go-to. This is the only show worth watching.

I know she can be a bit much with some of her guests, but at least she's self-aware, actually listens to her guests, which so many talk show hosts rarely do these days, and has brought meaningful conversation back to daytime. Plus, it just feels right to me that the ultimate heir of Hollywood royalty has such an ongoing presence in our daily lives. I've always been a fan and always will be, so yeah, I'm happy for her.

I agree. Plus, even with younger guests, she seems to truly connect with them and wants to gain their perspective of the industry given her own time as a child actor. She brings depth, which is much appreciated.

And she already denied she was replacing Kelly. She did one week as a favour to her friend.

Oh God.. the host that doesn't know what a boundary is and is a five year trapped in grown ass woman's body.

No thank you.

"The View" is not a talk show. It's ladies' wrestling without the bad spandex.
