Drew Barrymore is staying on daytime television. The Drew Barrymore Show has been renewed for a fifth season and 2024-25 by CBS Media Ventures.

The series had a bumpy start to its fourth season when the host planned to bring the show back in September during the height of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. After some backlash, those plans were put on hold. The season kicked off in October, once the writers strike had been settled.

CBS revealed more about the series’ renewal in a press release.

The syndicated daytime series “The Drew Barrymore Show” has been renewed for a fifth season on the CBS Stations, it was announced today by Wendy McMahon, President and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures.

It’s an experience unlike any other in television. Drew is truly creating magic in daytime, and we’re thrilled to continue to bring that to our stations.”

“The Drew Barrymore Show” is averaging 1.1 million viewers. This season, the show has grown from October to December in key measurements, including +9% in households and +4% in total viewers. In New York this season, Drew is up both +23% in A25-54 and +18% in W25-54.
