A new season of The Doctors is coming soon but it will have a very different look. The thirteenth season of the syndicated series will premiere in September with a new studio, new format, and a new host.
Dr. Ian Smith is taking charge of the series and previous hosts Sonia Batra, Judy Ho, Nita Landry, Andrew Ordon, and Travis Stork will not be returning. This season will have the focus of helping people deal with the times we’re living in at the moment.
More about season 13 of the daytime series was revealed in a press release.
“The Emmy Award-winning series THE DOCTORS today announces it will debut a new format and host when it premieres its 13th season on September 21. Dr. Ian Smith, best-selling author and trusted medical expert, steps in as host as the series moves to a new state-of-the-art studio to deliver even more timely and reliable breaking medical news and trusted information.
THE DOCTORS will launch the theme “Take Your Power Back,” designed to empower viewers to break through the fear and uncertainty of current times. The season-long series will provide ongoing tips and solutions to get Americans into fighting shape physically, mentally and emotionally.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Doctors? Will you watch the new season of this syndicated series next month? Will you miss the previous hosts?
I watched today and won’t be watching again bring back the old group. Goodbye to the doctors for me
I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW FORMAT!!!!!!! WILL NO LONGER BE WATCHING.
I will probably try the new show but I have come to trust the information imparted by travis and the others so time will tell.
I will miss the old format and after watching today’s show I WILL NOT be watching the Drs Show in the future.
Loved old show
Do not like the new show. Boring. Loved the old show
Good luck with the changes. I won’t be watching the new format. Saw the first today and not impressed
I just saw the first episode this morning. Information provided is something that I can easily find on the internet. It is inferior to info provided by the specialists on the old show.
Dr. Batra was the most prepared and informative of the doctors.
I’m a fan I watched the premier i prefer the old format
Are you kidding me? Talk about a stupid move. I want the Drs., the regular ones that have been on. This is so stupid and I will no longer watch the show. You made a big mistake!!!!!
Why the change? I loved the other hosts and miss their conversations. It was much more entertaining. I like Dr. Ian but not sure I will watch it that much without the other docs.
It will not be the same without the other hosts. I’m not sure if I will be watching as much. Dr. TRAVIS IS THE BEST. Too bad he won’t be there. And they all got along well. I’m very disappointed. This will not be my special program.
I won’t watch anymore…
I’ve been watching the new season of the Drs for about 10 minutes now, and from what I see so far…won’t be making it part of my morning routine anymore. I already miss the back and forth banter from Dr Travis and Dr Batra and Dr Orden, and the others. I’ve heard enough about the corona virus on other platforms and if I hear the word “empowerment” anymore, I think I’ll turn my tv off for good! I watched the old series for health education and also the humor that came along with it. Sorry to say, this will be… Read more »
A big NO to the changes made to The Doctors Show. I really liked the team on the doctors and the many topics that was covered. You should have left the Doctors Show alone…they were all great and the information was great. Health topics are always important….we all learned about various issues and interested in what could be done to help others in their medical problems. No, I will not be watching the News Doctors Show’. Please consider returning to the original Doctors Show.
