The new season was set to debut on Monday

“The Jennifer Hudson Show” is the latest daytime show to delay its premiere due to pressure from many inside the Hollywood community, as the talk show originally planned to forge ahead without writers during the WGA strike.

The show had resumed production last week and intended to return to the airwaves on Monday, Sept. 18, but faced criticism from many on the picket lines who saw the decision of daytime talk shows to continue without writers as harmful to their fight for a fair deal with the studios.

Drew Barrymore announced Sunday that, after days of facing blowback for her decision to return to “The Drew Barrymore Show,” her show would now be delayed until after the strike is over. “The Talk” followed suit shortly thereafter, and now “The Jennifer Hudson Show” will pause production and not premiere as planned.
