Variety first shared the news on 17 January, confirming that the show would be returning for the 2023-2024 television season on CBS. The renewal follows the first season (the show's third) that tested out a new format change, where each daily episode was split into two half-hour segments that different CBS stations could either run back to back or the second separate from the show's usual morning slot..
The format change definitely worked in the program's favor, and CBS Media Ventures president Steve LoCascio told the outlet: "This season, 'The Drew Barrymore Show' debuted a new reimagined half-hour format, which has been an undeniable success."
