Jennifer Hudson is keeping her daytime throne. The Jennifer Hudson Show has officially been renewed for Season 5, cementing its staying power in a daytime landscape that’s seen plenty of shakeups.
The renewal comes as other high-profile talk shows have faced uncertainty, cancellations, or ended their runs. Amid that turbulence, Hudson’s series continues to grow—thanks in large part to its strong ratings and massive social media footprint. The show’s now-iconic Spirit Tunnel segment, where guests dance their way onto the stage, has become a viral juggernaut online.
According to Deadline, the fifth season is set to premiere this fall. Frank Cicha, Executive Vice President of Programming for Fox Television Stations, praised Hudson’s cross-platform appeal, calling her a dynamic presence who connects strongly with audiences.
Beyond traditional TV metrics, The Jennifer Hudson Show has dominated digitally. It reportedly ranks No. 1 among daytime talk shows on TikTok and Threads and sits near the top in total social media followers. The Spirit Tunnel alone has generated roughly 6 billion views across platforms—proof that Hudson’s brand of feel-good energy is resonating far beyond daytime television.
