Since last April, CBS Daytime viewers have known that The Talk, the broadcast network’s answer to The View, would end after 15 seasons on air. In early 2025, the brand new soap Beyond the Gates will debut in the Emmy-winning talk show’s timeslot starting Feb. 24. The network recently announced The Talk‘s series finale airdate and what to expect during the show’s last week on air.
The End of an Era
The Talk‘s series finale is Friday, Dec. 20. Because it’s the holidays, expect the producers and cohosts to go all out for those final five episodes. Of course, great guests will join hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell, and Sheryl Underwood.
Plus, viewers who tune in to the live shows may be rewarded for their loyalty. According to a CBS press release, The Talk “will gift more than $2.5 million in giveaways to the show’s loyal audience” in December.
