Overview
- Disney confirmed late Friday, May 22, that ten new Celebrity Wheel of Fortune episodes will drop exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu on June 12.
- Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White will host the streaming episodes, with celebrity trios competing to win up to $1 million for charity.
- The episodes will be released all at once on the platforms and are slated to receive a later run on ABC, though network timing and season labeling remain unclear.
- Sony Pictures Television produced the specials with Bellamie Blackstone as executive producer, and the guest list includes names such as Freddie Freeman, Hasan Minhaj and members of the New Girl cast.
- The move extends Disney's recent shift of unscripted shows toward streaming and could signal a broader test of platform-first drops and delayed network windows, a change that viewers, advertisers and ABC scheduling will be watching closely.
