Syndicated entertainment news strip “Extra” has been renewed for Season 33 by the Fox-owned TV station group in key markets. Telepictures senior VP of current programming Lauren Blincoe and Fox Television Stations exec VP of programming Frank Cicha announced the pickup on Monday.
This will keep “Extra” going through the 2026-2027 TV season. “Extra” introduced “Dancing With the Stars” judge Derek Hough as its new host in Season 32; the show is also led by senior correspondent and weekend host Mona Kosar Abdi, as well as correspondent Terri Seymour.
“Amidst challenging times in syndication, the reinvention of ‘Extra’ has emerged as a genuinely positive story,” Cicha said in a statement. “Congrats to Derek Hough, the entire team at ‘Extra,’ and everyone at Telepictures.
Jeremy Spiegel continues as exec producer of “Extra.” As part of the show’s evolution this season (including an opening dance number and new segments), “Extra” also launched the digital series “Rolling with the Stars,” featuring Hough as he interviewed “Dancing with the Stars” contestants in a golf cart.
“Extra” has also expanded into longform content, including its Investigation Discovery program “Trapped: What Is Happening to Wendy Williams?”
“Extra” is the second longest‑running entertainment news magazine in syndication, behind only “Entertainment Tonight.” The show has received 12 consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Entertainment News Program, an honor it won in 2014 and 2016.
“Thirty-three seasons of ‘Extra’ reflects an enduring vision and a commitment to constant reinvention,” Blincoe said. “Nobody does this better than the ‘Extra’ team, led by our phenomenal executive producer Jeremy Spiegel, supported by our dedicated staff and crew, and brought to life by Derek’s singular talent, further strengthened by the on-air excellence of Mona and Terri. As we head into Season 33, we’re immensely proud of this powerhouse group and deeply grateful to our station partners and loyal viewers who’ve supported ‘Extra’ for more than three decades.”
“Extra” comes from Telepictures, which is part of Warner Bros. Television Group, and is distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery Content Sales. The show is currently cleared in 95% of the country, including on Fox Television Stations, Nexstar Media Group, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Tegna, Hearst Television, Scripps Broadcasting, Gray Media, Sunbeam Television, CBS, Mission Broadcasting, Morgan Murphy Media, Coastal Television, Allen Media, American Spirit, Lilly Broadcasting, News-Press & Gazette Company, Block Communications, Imagicomm Communications, Circle City Broadcasting, Weigel Broadcasting, Griffin Media, Marquee Broadcasting, Morris Network, Draper Media, Heartland Media, Heritage, Standard Media, Wray Properties Trust, Channel Communications, Community Broadcast Group and Price Media Corporation stations.
“This renewal is a testament to the extraordinary ‘Extra’ team, whose creativity, dedication, and passion drive the show every day,” Spiegel said. “Derek’s energy, artistry, and creativity have helped us reimagine ‘Extra’ in fresh and innovative ways, a perfect complement to the amazing work of Mona and Terri. We are grateful to Warner Bros. Discovery, Fox and all our station partners for their continued support and belief in ‘Extra.'”
