Drew Barrymore has announced she is bringing back her talk show amid the ongoing Hollywood strikes, sparking condemnation among fellow actors and calls for the show to be picketed.

In a statement on her Instagram, Barrymore said she was"making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, that may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me." She added:

Our show was built for sensitive times and has only functioned through what the real world is going through in real time. I want to be there to provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience. I hope for a resolve for everyone as soon as possible.

From launching during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to successfully pivoting to a groundbreaking half-hour format, this show has demonstrated spectacular resilience and creative agility on its journey to becoming the fastest-growing show in daytime.'s show employs WGA writers who are currently on strike. She is choosing to go back on the air without them, and forcing her guests to cross a picket line. Drew: This harms your writers and all union workers. Please reconsider.
