It’s the end of the road for The Talk; as news broke today, the show has been canceled.
However, The Talk won’t end immediately as it was renewed for a shortened and final Season 15.
“It goes without saying that hosting and producing a year-round talk show is no easy task, and we express our sincere gratitude to our amazing hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood, our executive producer/showrunner Rob Crabbe and the hardworking producing team and crew,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach and CBS Studios prexy David Stapf said in a joint statement.
They also acknowledged all the accomplishments of The Talk as well as what it brought to the network.
“Throughout the years, it has been a key program on CBS’ top rated daytime line-up as it brought timely, important and entertaining topics and discussions into living rooms around the globe,” read more of the press release.
The Talk will get time to prepare for a proper send-off because CBS also revealed that it will be on air until December 2024. Season 15 of The Talk will premiere in the fall.
News of The Talk being canceled comes hot on the heels of CBS greenlighting a new soap.
The Gates soap was announced on CBS.
Last month, CBS shocked the soap world with news that a new show was in development. The Gates will be written by Michele Val Jean, who has written over 2,000 episodes in the daytime genre. Michelle even won awards for her work on General Hospital and The Bold and the Beautiful.
According to Deadline, The Gates will focus on a wealthy Black family that lives in a gated community.
“This series will salute an audience that has been traditionally underserved, with the potential to be a groundbreaking moment for broadcast television. With multi-dimensional characters, juicy storylines and Black culture front and center, The Gates will have impactful representation, one of the key touchstones of the venture,” read a statement from CBS Studios NAACP Venture President Sheila Ducksworth.
The Gates is currently in development but based on The Talk cancellation, we expect it to hit CBS airwaves in the winter of 2025. There’s a chance The Gates could premiere sooner but with the Summer Olympics and CBS announcing their 2024/2025 fall schedule, winter seems to be the likely choice.
The Talk co-hosts share cancellation news
The official Instagram for The Talk shared the cancellation news after it broke, keeping things simple and sweet. A photo featuring Jerry, Natalie, Sheryl, Amanda and Akbar accompanied the post.
“The Talk will return in the fall to celebrate its 15th and final season. 💜” read the caption.
All hosts except Akbar shared the same IG post to their personal accounts to get the news out. The Talk fans should be sure to tune in next week, as the hosts will likely address the cancellation on air.
What do you think about The Talk being canceled?
The Talk airs weekdays on CBS.
Wish The View would be cancelled instead of The Talk! Enough said!
Agree already DO NOT LIKE GATES , FRoM PREVIEWS. PRESCHOOLERS SHOULD NOT BE WATCHING THESE YELLING SCREAMING WIG PULLING GOLF CLUB VIOLENT, THROWING THINGS BEHAVIORS . This show playing on TV while they are at home with nonworking patents is a disgrace. Its not good for them to watch and learn phycotuc abnormal behaviors of toughness , violence , throwing things, pulling fake hair behaviors. Everyday. Then going on with their luves and school and mimicking the uncouth abnormal behaviours. At least make it a very late night show. I have no interest in watching it. Wish You would have kept The Talk on .. also a show with people of all colors . Seems racist to me. Classy is not acting the way they do in previews nor sonething I would want my Young children to ever watch and learn from . Love Bold and Beautiful B4 it . Also, Bold and Beautiful always has people of all color. Kind of a downer to have such a good thing get ruined. AFTERWORDS. THE TALJ WAS GOOD Rather see a multiracial soap instead ..Sorry its just not right. Its to MEME ME ME!
I’m not fond of the Gates either! It’s jeezy & the Storyline is weak & just not good! I’m trying to give it a chance bt if it doesn’t get better soon I’ll say adios! I’ll enjoy HOT BENCH Reruns! CBS let The TALK go which was so refreshing funny & I looked forward to it everyday! CBS has a poor history of canceling their best & leaving us with junk for decades now! Their few Best shows left are SWAT which they’ve canceled yet again!! Price is Right, Fire Country, FBI, Survivor, Amazing Race, The Neighborhood, Y&R, Equalizer & I’m liking Watson. Who doesn’t love SWAT & everything they cancel good team of actors are lost bcuz they must eat as well! CBS is a dismal disappointment!
Why are you plopping your preschoolers in front of the TV for these talk shows to start with? There are some great children’s TV shows on, unless someone pulls funding from them.
I do think that the View should be Cacelled because it has turned into a major Toxic show which has allowed Racist and Slanderous behaviours to run rampant through the show Un-Checked. Then there was that Disgracefull situation that Whoopi Goldberg cause with the Staten Island Bakery. She pretty much Slandered them behind their backs and the Show mogules did nothing to stop this bad act
The lawyer Sunny really is not Sunny Cloudy should be her name she acts like she it all because she is a lawyer look at her face while reading correction on live tv Bahar always our people are fact checked routinely obviously not! Routinely legal notes are read after the say stupid things
Those Women on the View should be sued. They are slanderous , vile , racist, big mouthed. Most all of America does not want to see or listen to them . If they watch gor a minute ..its just to see the weird abnormal and deranged behaviors of tgese crazy women . Put something refreshing and non political for ALL OF AMERICA ON . REAL ENTERTAINMENT ..LIKE HOW THE TALK WAS. THEN ILL BE HAPPY TO WATCH! SOME NON JUDGEMENTAL ENTERTAINMENT AND EVERYDAY JUST NORMAL NICE PEOPLE AS THE TALK WAS!! DO NOT RENEW THEM MOST ALL OF DESCENT UNITED STATES PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT KINDA CR#@ while folding clothes drinking coffe
e ! Nor do they want there children seeing it . Preschoolers and up! Lets show descent Americans there are so many others that are so good. Bring Jerry O and others that were on that The Talk show on. People who make You smile and enjoy life!
LOL … Cloudy new name for Sunny!!
Sunny is not my fave either… what actual work as a lawyer has she done?
I do like Alyssa and her anecdotes from time in the White House.
Sunny seems jealous of Alyssa, I guess because Alyssa has an interesting past of real work.
