Savannah Guthrie Returns to Wordle Production Meetings as Preproduction Restarts

Her move back to Los Angeles for show meetings signals a restart of the New York Times–backed game show's production while her family’s missing-person case remains unresolved.

Overview

Reports say Guthrie was in Los Angeles for production meetings for the New York Times-developed Wordle game show as preproduction resumed this month.
The series filmed a pilot last year, was reported picked up in February, and its planned March shoot was delayed after Guthrie’s mother went missing.
Main filming has been reported as scheduled in Manchester over the summer, but outlets differ on the premiere window with some saying later this year and another reporting 2027.
Law enforcement continues to investigate Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance with cross‑border tips, video and DNA being reviewed but no public arrest or verified link has been announced.
Producers, including executive producer Jimmy Fallon and NBC, publicly paused production to accommodate Guthrie and have praised her role as host on the fast‑paced family game show.
