Jennifer Hudson is keeping the momentum going! The Jennifer Hudson Show has officially been renewed for a fourth season by Fox Television Stations, following a standout year of growth and recognition.
The nationally syndicated talk show, which blends celebrity interviews, viral moments, live music, and community spotlights, saw its biggest audience spike in 2025. During the week of January 13, the show hit a season-high in total viewers, marking a +21% increase in the A25-54 demographic since late October 2024.
“It is an unbelievable privilege to spend your days being able to engage with inspiring people from all walks of life; to hear their stories and connect on shared experiences; and to hopefully leave audiences a little more joyful than when they arrived,” said Hudson. “This show is a testament to what happens when you do what you love, and when you do it alongside an unstoppable team who creates magic in new ways every single day. I’m so excited to take this adventure to new heights in season 4!”
Season 3 of The Jennifer Hudson Show was packed with star power, featuring guests like Michelle Obama, Usher, Angela Bassett, Keke Palmer, Gwen Stefani, Cynthia Erivo, Kelly Rowland, Jimmy Kimmel, Smokey Robinson, Keith Urban, Ted Danson, Aaron Pierre, Ray Romano, and Kerry Washington. And the upcoming lineup for Season 4? Just as stacked—expect appearances from Kevin Hart, K-pop star Jennie, Anthony Mackie, Coco Jones, Adam Levine, Tina Knowles, Regina Hall, Big Sean, and more.
Since its 2022 debut, The Jennifer Hudson Show has racked up 10 Daytime Emmy nominations and earned two NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Talk Show Series and Outstanding Talk Show Host. The show also landed a 2025 GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding Variety or Talk Show Episode, and Hudson herself was honored with the Excellence in Media Award at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards.
David Decker, President of Content Sales at Warner Bros. Discovery, emphasized the show’s impact: “Audiences and our great television station partners agreed—JHud is must-have television. We believe in great programming, and Warner Bros. Television Group always delivers for our business and fans.”
Lauren Blincoe, SVP of Current Programming at Telepictures, added: “Jennifer Hudson’s extraordinary talent and ability to connect with people have made The Jennifer Hudson Show a standout in daytime. This season, the show has seen incredible growth, creating moments that resonate beyond the screen—like the viral sensation Spirit Tunnel. Jennifer embodies the show’s ‘Choose Joy’ message in every episode, and as we head into Season 4, we’re grateful for the continued support of our station partners and proud to build on this momentum with Jennifer and our award-winning production team.”
Produced by JHUD Productions and Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Telepictures, The Jennifer Hudson Show is distributed in national syndication by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. Hudson serves as an executive producer alongside Andy Lassner, Corey Palent, Graehme Morphy, and Walter Williams III.
With its renewal locked in and an ever-growing audience, The Jennifer Hudson Show is set to keep bringing the joy, heart, and star-studded moments into another exciting season.
