FOX-owned stations have picked up Hudson’s talk show for a fifth season.

Launched in 2022, the EMMY-winning series rose to popularity on the wings of Jennifer’s frequent musical performances as well as the inescapably viral “Spirit Tunnel” that sees guests shows off their best moves en route to the main stage.

“I could not be more honored to continue this journey alongside a phenomenal group of brilliant producers, dedicated crew, and collaborative partners,” Hudson said in a statement after learning of the renewal. “It is such a joy to connect with people in meaningful ways every day across this country and to share stories of heart and inspiration, all while bringing entertainment into people’s lives. None of this would be possible without our incredible audience. They are the heartbeat of the show, and I am so excited to take this to new heights in season five.”

The sentiment was echoed by Lauren Blincoe, Senior VP of Current Programming for Telepictures.

“The renewal of The Jennifer Hudson Show for a fifth season is a meaningful reminder that positivity, joy, and stories that celebrate the best in people continue to resonate deeply with viewers,” Blincoe relayed. “Jennifer’s talent, heart, and generosity of spirit set a powerful tone and fuel the show’s success. We are profoundly grateful to her, and to the exceptional work and dedication of our executive producers, staff and crew, station partners, and loyal viewers. We celebrate this milestone and look forward to creating even more moments that lift, inspire, and allow guests and audiences to ‘feel the love.’”

At writing, no tentative premiere date for the new season has been revealed.
