Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show canceled after 4 seasons



Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show has been canceled after four seasons.

Lionsgate’s syndicated TV production company Debmar-Mercury confirmed the news on Monday, the same day Kelly Clarkson announced her own daytime TV series was ending after seven seasons.

“This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production – which has found strong creative momentum this season – or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said in a statement to Variety.

“We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms,” the statement added.

The Post has reached out to Shepherd’s rep and Debmar-Mercury for comment.

Season 4 of “Sherri” will continue airing until the fall.

The show, which films at Chelsea Studios in New York City, was already picked up for the 2025-2026 TV season on station groups including Fox TV Stations, Nexstar, Hearst, Sinclair, Gray, Tegna and Sunbeam.

When the daytime series was renewed for Season 4 last May, Shepherd said in a statement, “I don’t take it for granted that people welcome me into their homes daily. I work so hard to bring escapism to viewers’ lives through joy, laughter and inspiration, and I’m grateful that the audience has embraced what we do. I look forward to raising the bar and turning up the volume as we plan for our season four return.”

“Sherri” premiered in Sept. 2022 as a replacement for “The Wendy Williams Show,” which ended after 13 seasons due to Williams’ ongoing health issues.

Shepherd’s show has been nominated for six Daytime Emmys including Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show in 2023.

“I’ve always dreamed about this,” Shepherd said after her show was announced in 2022. “I always wanted something where I could make people laugh, that’s always been my why, to make people feel good.”

Clarkson, for her part, broke the news Monday that her eponymous daytime talk show will not return for another season as she prioritizes spending time with her two children.

Page Six had already exclusively revealed the show would be coming to an end.

“This was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,’” she shared in an Instagram message. “Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”

“This isn’t goodbye,” Clarkson added. “I’ll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on ‘The Voice’ from time to time … you never know where I might show up next.”

Clarkson’s announcement came six months after her ex-husband and her children’s father, Brandon Blackstock, tragically passed away in August 2025 at the age of 48.
