Syndicated entertainment news program Extra has been renewed for a 33rd season by Fox Television Stations, it was announced Monday. Dancing With the Stars judge Derek Hough will return as host of the show, produced by Telepictures, alongside Senior Correspondent and Weekend Host Mona Kosar Abdi and Correspondent Terri Seymour.
The renewal, which takes the show through 2027, comes amid strong ratings. Since its Season 32 premiere in September, Extra has seen a 20% week‑to‑week viewership increase at its recent high, according to Telepictures and Fox TV Stations, per Nielsen stats.
“Thirty-three seasons of Extra reflects an enduring vision and a commitment to constant reinvention,” said Lauren Blincoe, Senior Vice President of Current Programming for Telepictures. “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.”
The revamped Season 32 has seen the addition of Rolling with the Stars, a digital series featuring Hough interviewing Dancing with the Stars contestants while driving them around in a golf cart. The segment became a breakout hit, expanding to include talent from other Warner Bros. productions. In 2025, Extra also extended its brand into long‑form content with the launch of Investigation Discovery’s Trapped: What Is Happening to Wendy Williams?
“Amidst challenging times in syndication, the reinvention of Extra has emerged as a genuinely positive story,” added Frank Cicha, Executive Vice President of Programming for Fox Television Stations. “Congrats to Derek Hough, the entire team at Extra, and everyone at Telepictures.
