Kelly Clarkson is gearing up for her return as the host of The Kelly Clarkson Show season 7. NBC confirmed in December 2024 that Clarkson’s eponymous talk show would be coming back for the 2025-2026 television season.

The Kelly Clarkson Show will return for season 7 in the fall, PEOPLE can confirm. Season 6 concluded in June. The show's return will come weeks after Clarkson's ex-husband, talent manager Brandon Blackstock, died on Aug. 7 after a private journey with cancer. He was 48.

Fans of The Kelly Clarkson show may have to wait a bit longer than expected for new episodes to premiere on NBC. Just one day after Kelly Clarkson announced the postponement of her Las Vegas Residency shows, news broke that her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, died at the age of 48 after a private battle with cancer.
