The Kelly Clarkson Show is officially ending after its current seventh season.
Kelly Clarkson announced on Monday, that this will be the final season. She shared a statement on Instagram explaining her decision: She described it as "not an easy decision" after seven incredible years.
The main reason is to step away from the demanding daily hosting schedule to prioritize her kids (River and Remington), which she said "feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives."
This comes in the context of personal circumstances, including the death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in 2025.
She emphasized gratitude to the crew, band, guests, fans, and NBC, noting it's not a full goodbye—she'll continue making music, occasional performances, and possibly appearances on The Voice.
Production on Season 7 (which began in September 2025) will continue as planned, with new episodes airing through fall 2026. The show won't abruptly stop; it'll wrap up naturally toward the end of that run.
The series, which debuted in 2019, has been a major success: it's won multiple Daytime Emmy Awards (including for Outstanding Talk Show and Host), featured celebrity interviews, performances, games, and feel-good segments, and built a loyal audience.
