Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is set to return to ABC this fall with a significant change in its hosting lineup. The network confirmed that the sixth season of the popular game show spinoff will premiere on September 26, 2025, featuring Ryan Seacrest as the new host. Seacrest will be joined by the iconic Vanna White, who continues her long-standing role revealing letters on the puzzle board.
The announcement was made on the official Wheel of Fortune Instagram account on July 17. “On Friday, September 26, Ryan Seacrest joins Vanna White on the season premiere of #CelebrityWheelOfFortune on ABC! Stream on Hulu,” the post stated, generating considerable buzz among fans.
Fan Reactions and Show Background
Viewers quickly took to social media to express their enthusiasm. One fan noted, “This is giving TGIF, stay at home, order in vibes. I’m here for it.” Another follower remarked, “Oh finally with Ryan!!!! Can’t wait.” A third commented, “This is going to be so much fun,” reflecting a widespread excitement for the new season.
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune first premiered in 2021, introducing a charitable twist to the beloved franchise, where celebrities compete to raise funds for various organizations. The original Wheel of Fortune has been a staple of television for over four decades, becoming one of the most recognizable game shows in history.
The upcoming season will be notable as it marks the first without Pat Sajak as a full-time host. Sajak stepped down from both the regular and celebrity editions of the show in June 2024, although he made a brief return for episodes that aired between April and June 2025. Seacrest, who succeeded Sajak on the main program, will now lead both versions of the show, a transition that has captured the attention of dedicated fans.
Looking Ahead to Season Launches
As anticipation builds for the new season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, the main show is also set to debut its latest season on September 8, 2025. The collaboration between Seacrest and White is being closely monitored as fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds in the franchise’s storied history.
With these changes, both versions of the show are poised to attract both loyal viewers and new audiences, as they continue to entertain with engaging gameplay and celebrity charm.
