The bulꦬk of the new prime time seaཧson kicks off later this month (at night) — but it’s a different scenario in daytime.
Several daytime shows (“Steve,” “The View,” “Live with Kelly and Ryan,”) have already started their new seasons. But starting Monday, and co🔜ntinuing the week of Sept. 18, the daytime slate shifts into ove༺rdrive.
Here’s a snapshot look ꩲat the returning daytime vets:
“The Talk”
Monday, Sept. 11 (2 p.m. on WCBS/Ch. 2)
Julie Chen,♉ Sharon Osbourne, Sara Gilbert and Sheryl Underwood are back for Season 8 — without Aisha Tyler, who left last spring after six seasons. For now, “The Talk” will fill Tyler’s vacated seat with a rotating roster of guest co-hosts (a permanent co-host is expected to be named before the end of the year).
“Crime Watch Daily”
Monday, Sept. 11 (1 p.m. on WPIX/Ch. 11)
The first crime show to air in daytime syndication returns for Season 3 with host Chris Hansen — and a new initiative, “Badge of Honor,” that will honor lo𒐪cal law enforcement heroes “who have gone above and beynd the call of duty for their communities.”
“Harry”
Tuesday, Sept. 12 (2 p.m. on WNYW/Ch. 5)
Harry Connick Jr. kicks off Season 2 with a big꧂ get: Billy Joel,▨ making his first daytime appearance in nearly a decade (since “Oprah” in 2008). He’ll perform a solo number and join Connick in a duet.
“The Wendy Williams Show”
Monday, Sept. 18 (10 a.m. on WNYW/Ch 5)
Williams is back for her ninth season (believe it or not). On Sept. 14, the show’s sཧet will be recreated in Times Square to allow people to ask Williams a question for her one of he🥃r “Ask Wendy” segments (with the possibility it will air on the show or on one of Williams’ social platforms).
“The Real”
Monday, Sept. 18 (11 a.m. on WNYW/Ch. 5)
“The Real” returns for Season 4 with one big chang𒉰e: it will air live (from LA) starting at 8 a.m. PST, with the co-hosts interacting with their audience on social media.
“My audience is the youngest [audience] in daytime TV and they’re living on Facebook, Instagram stories, etc.,” says show executive producer Rachel Miskowiec. “We have a huge social media presence and 💞the only way to include [our audience] is to be live so they can interact wit🐽h the co-hosts as ‘the fifth seat at the table.’ ”
The audience interaction will occur mainly during the show’s “Girl Chat” segment. “Last season we were on a delay,” Miskowiec says. “We’d be right on topics,𒁏 but [the show] a✨lways aired a day later — until now.”
