2022 saw the end of The Wendy Williams Show, which had been a staple of television for a generation. First airing in June 2008, the show released over 1500 episodes before finally ending its run in June 2022. It turned Williams into a household name and a beloved figure to many. Many mourned the loss of the show, especially around the murky details that undercut the show's final episode.
Since leaving the small screen, many fans have wondered what the star host's next project would be. While Williams spent time in rehab in late 2022, that did not deter speculation from fans as to what her next professional venture would be. Given Williams' wide range of ventures, everything from another book to another show was seen as feasible. Williams had previously announced she would be launching a podcast. It would have been something of a return to her radio roots. However, the project was reportedly canceled before launch. But now fans have been given a small hint about what Williams might be working on.
Williams Seen Filming at Childhood Home
Williams grew up in Ashbury Park, New Jersey. However, race riots in 1970 prompted a relocation to the predominantly white suburb of Wayside. Williams has been relatively open about her early years and later struggles. Many of her books, including her 2003 autobiography, speak candidly about her struggles with addiction. However, fans got their biggest hint yet about Williams' next project when she was allegedly seen filming at her childhood home. The report could point to this being the most intimate and personal project of Williams' storied career.
According to The Sun, Williams has been traveling the country to shoot footage for a new reality show. Part of this show will feature Williams in an "emotional return" to her childhood home in New Jersey. No further details, such as the show's primary focus, were made available. However, the filming in New Jersey suggests that Williams is set to open up about herself, possibly in a way that fans have never before seen. Williams' project will reportedly air this fall, with more details presumably on the way.
