Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is set to return to ABC this fall with a notable change in its hosting lineup. The network has announced that the sixth season of the popular game show spinoff will premiere on September 26, 2025, featuring Ryan Seacrest as the new host. This marks Seacrest’s first time leading the celebrity edition, where he will be joined by the familiar face of Vanna White, who continues her longstanding role in revealing letters on the puzzle board.
The announcement was made on July 17 via the official Wheel of Fortune Instagram account, which stated, “On Friday, September 26, Ryan Seacrest joins Vanna White on the season premiere of #CelebrityWheelOfFortune on ABC! Stream on Hulu.” This update has generated excitement among fans, with many expressing their enthusiasm on social media. One commenter noted, “This is giving TGIF, stay at home, order in vibes. I’m here for it,” while another exclaimed, “Oh finally with Ryan!!!! Can’t wait.”
Transitioning to a New Era
First launched in 2021, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune introduced a charitable twist to the iconic game show, allowing celebrities to compete for their chosen organizations. The original Wheel of Fortune has been a staple of television for over four decades, making it one of the most recognized game shows in history.
This upcoming season will be particularly significant as it will be the first without Pat Sajak serving as the full-time host. Sajak stepped down from his hosting duties for both Wheel of Fortune and its celebrity spin-off in June 2024, although he made a brief return for episodes that aired between April and June 2025. Seacrest, who has taken over as the host of the flagship program, will now lead both versions of the show, a move that has been closely watched by fans eager to see how this new partnership with White evolves.
What’s Next for Wheel of Fortune?
In addition to the changes in Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, the main Wheel of Fortune will also kick off its latest season on September 8, 2025. As the game show continues to adapt and renew its format, viewers can expect a fresh dynamic with Seacrest at the helm. With the blend of celebrity competition and charitable contributions, the new season promises to entertain audiences while supporting meaningful causes.
As anticipation builds for the premiere, fans are eager to witness how Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White will shape the future of this beloved franchise. The combination of their unique styles and the show’s established charm sets the stage for an exciting season ahead.
