Lionsgate’s producer-distributor banner Debmar-Mercury confirmed that comedian Sherri Shepherd’s talk show, Sherri, will end after its fourth season.
In a joint statement, Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said the decision is tied to changes in the daytime TV business — not the quality of the show or its host.
“This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production — which has found strong creative momentum this season — or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” the executives said. They added that the company still believes in the show and Shepherd, and plans to explore new opportunities for it on other platforms.
Production on season four will continue as planned, with final episodes set to air in the fall. Shepherd has not yet commented publicly on the news.
Ahead of the current season, Shepherd spoke about how much the show means to her and its viewers. In a previous statement shared via Deadline, she said she never takes it for granted that audiences welcome her into their homes every day.
“I work so hard to bring escapism to viewers’ lives through joy, laughter and inspiration,” Shepherd said at the time. “I’m grateful that the audience has embraced what we do.”
According to Variety, Sherri had recently been renewed through the 2025–2026 TV season across major station groups, including Fox TV Stations, Nexstar, Hearst, Sinclair, Gray, Tegna and Sunbeam.
The show first premiered on September 12, 2022, and quickly became a standout in daytime television. Over four seasons, Sherri earned six Daytime Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host for Shepherd. It also won two NAACP Image Awards — Outstanding Talk Series in 2023 and Outstanding Host in a Talk or News/Information Series.
New episodes of Sherri are still airing this week. Monday’s show featured music star Mya, who joined Shepherd to talk about the previous night’s Grammy Awards.
Throughout February, the show is celebrating Black History Month along with a themed programming push called “Seasoned & Single Month,” focusing on love, dating, and life for women of a certain age.
While Sherri may be ending its daytime run, fans still have several months to enjoy new episodes — and the door remains open for what Shepherd may do next.
