The Drew Barrymore Show Renewed Through 2028 with Two-Season Pickup
The Emmy Award–winning The Drew Barrymore Show has been renewed for two additional seasons, ensuring the daytime talk show will remain on air through 2028. The renewal was announced on March 9, 2026, by stations owned by CBS, Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, underscoring continued support for one of daytime television’s fastest-growing programs.
Produced and distributed by CBS Media Ventures, the show is anchored by CBS-owned stations in major markets including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. As part of the renewal, the program will move into upgraded time slots in several markets beginning this fall, including Seattle, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Charlotte, Baltimore, Kansas City and Cincinnati. The upgraded placements reflect the show’s growing viewership and increasing demand across the country.
Executive producer Jason Kurtz praised host Drew Barrymore for her influence and authenticity, noting that her approach has helped redefine the daytime talk format. According to Kurtz, Barrymore’s willingness to present herself honestly and openly has been central to the show’s success, allowing it to challenge traditional conventions while adapting to a modern, multiplatform media landscape.
Barrymore emphasized that the program has always been centered on its viewers and the conversations it creates. She described the show as a place for meaningful dialogue and discovery, explaining that from its launch in 2020 the goal was to break away from the traditional daytime formula and create a format that reaches audiences across television, digital and social platforms. She also expressed appreciation to CBS leadership, including George Cheeks, for supporting the show’s continued development.
Currently in its most-watched season, The Drew Barrymore Show averages approximately 1.6 million viewers each day. The program has also built a substantial digital presence, attracting more than 14 million followers across social media platforms and increasing engagement by 47 percent year over year.
The series has continued to evolve creatively by introducing a new stripped-down, longform conversation format that focuses on storytelling with notable guests. These interviews are presented in two versions: a curated broadcast edit for television and an extended, unfiltered digital version available on the show’s YouTube channel. This dual-format approach offers audiences deeper access to conversations while expanding the program’s reach across multiple viewing platforms.
With its continued growth in both television ratings and digital engagement, The Drew Barrymore Show is positioned to remain a prominent presence in daytime television through at least 2028.
