After over three decades of keeping fans up to date with the latest in celebrity gossip and entertainment, E! News has officially been cancelled as a television program. The show, which first aired in 1991, will sign off for the last time on September 25, 2025, marking the end of an era.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cancellation was communicated to staff on Thursday, July 24, with remaining episodes set to air before its final farewell. This marks the second major pause for the show, which had previously gone on a two-year hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic before making a comeback.
E! News will now transition to a fully digital platform, leveraging its online presence and social media platforms where it already boasts over 87 million followers. Correspondents from the show are expected to join Versant, a newly formed media conglomerate that now includes E!, USA Network, MSNBC, CNBC, and more.
Despite the cancellation, the E! network will continue to air original and acquired content such as Botched Presents, Honestly Cavallari, and new programs like Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane and Dirty Rotten Scandals. The channel also remains known for its prestigious red carpet coverage of major award shows like the Critics Choice Awards.
Industry insiders suggest that the cancellation reflects the evolving media landscape, where audiences demand real-time news across digital and mobile platforms rather than traditional 11 p.m. TV slots. E! aims to adapt to this shift by strengthening its digital-first entertainment reporting.
Although the beloved program will no longer appear on television, fans can still access E! content through its website and social media — ensuring the legacy of E! News continues in a new format.
