What Happened To ‘Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune’ Season 5?

Many fans have shown concern about what happened to Celebrity Wheel of Fortune Season 5. The show was advertised to start up in October 2024, but then it ended up changing to a special episode on December 2, 2024. This was Pat Sajak’s last time to ever host the show, and many fans were excited about this final season.

However, now fans are confused about what happened to the show and want to know if there will be more.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune Fans Looking For New Season

Fans knew that Celebrity Wheel of Fortune was coming, and it would be Pat Sajak’s last time to ever host the show. This made it a much-anticipated season for fans to watch, but then it never showed up. The season was supposed to premiere on October 14, 2024. So, what happened?

Fans took to Reddit to question what happened with the show. The OP said that, “With the exception of the one episode which aired in December, Season 5 was supposed to begin in October, but thanks to Monday Night Football and due to Celebrity Wheel of Fortune not on the schedule for this winter.” They wondered if the rest of the season would show up in spring of 2025.

The commneters chimed in:

• “It’s confusing because I do remember people here saying the season was supposed to start in October, but that first episode in December was Christmas themed and they referenced Pat being back … they must have some type of plan?”
• “Might be this summer”
• “My guess is the remaining episodes will be paired with Jeopardy Masters in the late spring.”

This is the case, but fans will have to wait for more.

Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune Made Changes In October 2024

ABC released some disappointing news days before the October 14, 2024, Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune premiere. The network said that ABC planned to prioritize Monday Night Football, and they planned to air the football games on both ABC and ESPN. As a result, there was no room for the game show on the schedule (via TV Insider).

The only time this changed was on December 2. That night, the Cleveland Browns vs. Denver Broncos game only aired on ESPN. Fans got a chance to see Pat Sajak back on TV for the first time as a host since he ended his run on the main show earlier in 2024. However, it was just a one-night appearance.

ABC announced that the rest of the season will not air until later in 2025. The exact premiere date for the new season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune remains unknown. Sajak has already filmed all the episodes, so when ABC is ready, they are already lined up to air to the end.

Guests include Chance the Rapper, Dionne Warwick, Lil Jon, Rainn Wilson, Josh Gad, Tiffany Haddish, Regina Hall, and more.
