Overview
- Netflix, which announced the project Thursday, tapped Williams to lead a weekly video podcast set to debut later in 2026 with the release date still to be determined.
- The series, titled We’re Back! With Brian Williams, will feature long, relaxed interviews with actors, musicians, writers, athletes, journalists, and other newsmakers.
- Veteran producer Jonathan Wald will serve as executive producer, reuniting with Williams after their 2024 Amazon Prime Video election special.
- Williams returns to a regular platform after leaving MSNBC in 2021 and after a 2015 suspension at NBC for making false statements about his Iraq War reporting.
- The show joins Netflix’s growing slate of video podcasts, which already includes dozens of titles, signaling a bid to pull in audiences who follow big-name hosts across formats.
