"Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" is back for Season 6, and fans better get ready. A brand-new host, a new night, and fresh updates to the set are just a few of the reasons this season feels bigger than ever.
After Pat Sajak’s official retirement in June 2024, the iconic role of host now belongs to Ryan Seacrest. He has already taken over the main "Wheel of Fortune", and now he is stepping into the spotlight for the celebrity version, too.

This will be Seacrest’s first run on this version, following Sajak’s farewell season earlier this year.
For anyone who misses the golden era of Friday-night game shows, this is a win.
Episodes will also stream on Hulu 23, so catching up is easier than ever. The main "Wheel of Fortune" season premieres a few weeks earlier, on September 8, so expect a full month of spinning wheels and puzzle-solving action.
Seacrest Steps in, Vanna Holds it Down
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune / IG / The new season kicks off Friday, September 26, 2025, on ABC. That is a move from its usual Sunday night slot, and it is already giving fans a strong hit of nostalgic TGIF energy.
Let’s talk Seacrest. The guy is everywhere, and now he is the new face of "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune". Fans are already buzzing on social media, calling his hosting “smooth,” “fun,” and a “perfect fit” next to the always-fabulous Vanna White.
Vanna White, by the way, isn’t going anywhere. She is back and better than ever, still turning letters and bringing the charm she is known for. The duo makes the show feel fresh but familiar, which is exactly what fans want.
What is New Behind the Scenes?
So, what else is new with "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune"? A lot, actually. Let’s start with the look. The set’s had a makeover, and it shows. There is a bold, gold-accented puzzle board now that makes the whole stage pop. It is flashier, sharper, and camera-ready.
The music has also been refreshed. The team at Bleeding Fingers Music reworked the soundtrack, giving it a more modern feel without losing the classic vibe. You will notice the beats hit harder, and the energy feels higher from the first spin.
Season 5 gave fans one last look at Pat Sajak in action. Though he stepped down from the "Daily Show," he returned for a few final spins on "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune". His last episode was a tribute to everything the show stands for: family fun, good laughs, and plenty of feel-good moments.

However, ABC’s decision to shift the air date to Fridays is part of a larger push to bring back appointment TV, where families and fans make time to sit down and watch together.
That is where "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" really shines. It is easy to watch, easy to enjoy, and now more exciting than ever with the updates in place. You don’t need to be a puzzle master to get hooked.
Season 6 is also shaping up to be a who’s-who of celebrity guests. While the full list hasn’t dropped yet, insiders hint at big names from music, film, and even sports.
