‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’ Renewed For Season 2

Warner Bros. Discovery’s top-rated newcomer The Jennifer Hudson Show will return for a second season on Fox Television Stations in fall of 2023.

Hearst Television, along with other station partners, also renewed the show for season two, which covers more than 60% of the country together with Fox.

David Decker, Warner Bros. Discovery president of content sales, said: “From Day 1, we’ve had the best of the best here — a great host in Jennifer, amazing producers, terrific guests, and some of the best television station partners in America. When all that comes together – it’s a hit.”

Franks Cicha, executive vice president of programming for Fox Television Stations, added: “Given what we’ve seen so far, this program absolutely deserves a second year. Thanks to Jennifer Hudson and her fantastic production team.”

Hosted by Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner Jennifer Hudson, The Jennifer Hudson Show debuted as the 2022-23 season’s No. 1 new first-run series for the premiere week of Sept. 12 with households and total viewers and is the No. 1 new first-run strip this 2022-23 season in average weekly reach, reaching a 5.2 million total P2+ weekly viewers on average.

The series was the only new program nominated for a 2022 People’s Choice Award in the Daytime Talk Show category. During the show’s freshman season, Hudson was also honored as one of People Magazine’s “People of the Year” and one of Glamour’s “Women of the Year.”

Hudson said: “Working on this show alongside my incredible team and our amazing partners has been one of the greatest joys of my career. We have been on this journey together from day one and I am so thrilled to take it to the next level. I could not be more grateful to audiences across America for letting me into their homes everyday as we empower and inspire one another. I can’t wait to show you what we have up our sleeves in season two!”

Mike Darnell, president, Warner Bros. unscripted television, said: “Jennifer is an incredible talent and can literally accomplish anything she sets her sights on. This show is second to none because of her and all of the talented producers and crew who work daily to make every single episode special. A season two pick-up this early on proves that this show is here to stay.”

Discovery Content Sales, The Jennifer Hudson Show is executive produced by Mary Connelly, Andy Lassner, Corey Palent, Jennifer Hudson, Lisa Kasteler Calio, Graehme Morphy and Walter Williams III, with Shani Black as co-executive producer.
