Brian Williams, who’s been off the TV airwaves for the last five years, is going into business with Netflix.
The former NBC News and MSNBC anchor will host “We’re Back! With Brian Williams,” a weekly interview show with pop-culture figures and other newsmakers. Netflix said it will debut later in 2026.
“With scientists predicting that every American will have a podcast by 2030, I thought it was time to get in the game,” Williams jokingly said in a statement.
He continued: “After 40 years in the news business where an in-depth interview gets four minutes of airtime at best, I just want to have interesting conversations with creative, funny, smart, talented and consequential people — like the shows we all grew up watching and listening to. Netflix is the perfect home.”
Jonathan Wald, a veteran TV news executive who worked with Williams at NBC News and MSNBC, will serve as executive producer of “We’re Back!”
In 2024, Williams anchored extended coverage of the U.S. presidential election on Amazon Prime Video.
