Drew Barrymore is heading back on Monday, September 14, when Season 7 of The Drew Barrymore Show starts airing new episodes. The return gives viewers and the Drew Crew a clear start date after the show spent its annual summer break in reruns.
September 14 for Season 7
CBS Media Ventures announced its September premiere lineup on August 5, putting the date in place for a show that was greenlit for a seventh and eighth season in March. The eighth season will air during the 2027-2028 TV season, which turns this fall return into part of a longer rollout rather than a one-off reset.
The show is described as CBS Media Ventures’ fastest-growing talk show, and that helps explain why the comeback is being scheduled with precision. For a daytime program, locking the return to Monday, September 14 gives stations and advertisers a clean handoff from summer reruns to fresh episodes.
Drew Crew Returns
The season description points to celebrity interviews, human-interest stories, lifestyle tips and plenty of surprises, along with authentic, unfiltered conversations and fan-favorite segments with the Drew Crew team. Returning Drew Crew members include Ross Mathews, Valerie Bertinelli, Sunny Anderson, Chris Appleton, Zanna Roberts Rassi, Amirah Kassem, Will Taylor, Mikel Welch, Pilar Valdes and Danny Seo.
Barrymore said, “What matters most to us is our viewers and the people that come here,” and added, “This show began as a space for intimate conversation, and we're continuing to plant our flag as a truly multi-platform experience.” Her wording tracks with the way the show is being sold now: not just as a studio talker, but as a format built to travel across screens and segments.
Four Daytime Emmy Nominations
The series has already picked up four 2026 Daytime Emmy nominations: Outstanding Daytime Talk Series, Outstanding Directing for a Daytime Studio Non-Fiction Series, Outstanding Editing for a Daytime Studio Program and Outstanding Main Title and Graphic Design for a Daytime Program. Those nominations give Season 7 a higher-profile starting point than a routine fall launch, even before any guest list is announced.
The missing piece is still the same one viewers will watch for first: the show has not yet announced its lineup of celebrity guests for Season 7. Until that list lands, the cleanest read is simple — the framework is set, the team is back, and the booking board is the next thing that will tell viewers how aggressive this season will be.
