The Drew Barrymore Show Season 6 Renewed: Everything We Know So Far

As a die-hard fan who has been following The Drew Barrymore Show since its debut, I can confidently say that this is truly a moment to rejoice! After overcoming initial hurdles during the pandemic and a brief hiatus due to the writers’ strike, the show has proven its mettle and is now ready for another season.


Based on recent reports, it appears that The Drew Barrymore Show, currently aired on CBS during the daytime, is set for a continued run. Prior to its fifth season debuting on September 9, 2024, there are already whispers of a sixth season. Despite a rough beginning, this talk show has won over audiences and now seems destined for renewal after renewal.

The television series debuted in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, which initially prevented it from garnering a large live audience due to social distancing measures. To compensate, they utilized a ‘Screen for Global Audience’ instead. Moreover, since physical guest appearances were challenging, some guests made virtual appearances, while others visited in person but kept their distance from the host to adhere to restrictions.

Initially, The Drew Barrymore Show experienced a gradual increase in its viewership, eventually becoming one of television’s most popular talk shows. According to Variety, the show has already been renewed for a sixth season before even beginning its fifth. In this new season, Drew Barrymore will continue as the host as she embarks on another chapter in her career. Additionally, the show is set to undergo improvements in several top markets, such as the 9-hour block following CBS Mornings in New York, Dallas, and Boston.

Wendy McMahon, the president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Ventures talked about the renewal of The Drew Barrymore Show. Wendy said, “Drew is a one-of-a-kind talent who is an integral part of the CBS and Paramount family. This early renewal and upgrades are a testament to our commitment to The Drew Barrymore Show and its loyal audience, who tune in every day to see Drew’s warmth, inquisitiveness, and spontaneity.”

Starting from its second season, the program gained momentum with viewers and the changes in the third season enabled a more engaging experience for the entire studio audience. The show was structured into two thirty-minute segments: one dealt with pop culture and lifestyle trends, while the other half centered around interviews with celebrities. Notable guests like Keanu Reeves, Bella Hadid, and numerous others have graced our stage thus far.

In the year 2023, when the series returned to filming, it found itself in a significant predicament due to the Writers Guild of America Strike. To avoid further criticism, the show chose to prolong its break and stand in solidarity with the writers until the strike was officially concluded.
