Good News for Daytime TV: The Drew Barrymore Show Scored a Two-Season Renewal

Daytime TV isn’t saying goodbye to Drew Barrymore anytime soon.

The Drew Barrymore Show has officially been renewed for two more seasons, meaning the Emmy-winning daytime talker will stick around through Season 8 in 2028. The renewal comes courtesy of stations owned by CBS, Nexstar, and Sinclair, which clearly like what they’re seeing from the increasingly popular series.

And the timing makes sense. The show is currently in its sixth season, which just so happens to be its most-watched yet, pulling in around 1.6 million daily viewers. Not too shabby for a talk show that launched back in 2020 when the world — and daytime television, looked very different.

The series is produced and distributed by CBS Media Ventures, with CBS Stations anchoring the show in major markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Even better for Team Drew, several cities are about to give the show better time slots this fall, including Seattle, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Charlotte, Baltimore, Kansas City, and Cincinnati. Translation: somebody in programming thinks people want even more Drew with their morning coffee.

Executive producer Jason Kurtz credits the show’s success to Barrymore herself. “Drew is the original influencer, a true trendsetter and culture-driving force who has consistently stayed ahead of the conversation,” Kurtz said. “She shows up as her unfiltered, authentic self every single day, continually challenging the conventions of daytime television.”

Barrymore, meanwhile, says the goal has always been to keep the show evolving with how audiences actually watch things now, not just how daytime TV used to work.

“This show began as a space for intimate conversation, and we’re continuing to plant our flag as a truly multiplatform experience,” Barrymore said. “Our mission from the start in 2020 was to break the mold rather than conform to the traditional daytime landscape.”

Part of that evolution includes the show’s newer longform interview format, which features stripped-down conversations with guests (no audience, fewer bells and whistles). Those chats are released in two versions: the edited broadcast cut and a longer, unfiltered digital version on the show’s YouTube channel.

And speaking of digital: The Drew Barrymore Show has built a social following of more than 14 million, with engagement up 47% year over year.

So yes, if you enjoy Drew sitting very close to celebrities while having extremely earnest conversations about life, love, and everything in between… good news. You’ve got at least two more seasons of it.
