Sherri is filmed and airs live from Chelsea Studios in New York.[1][3] The series serves as a de facto replacement for The Wendy Williams Show, for which Shepherd served as an interim host in much of the last portion of the thirteenth season due to personal and medical issues involving Williams.[4] Much of the production team for Wendy thus carried over to Shepherd's show, along with its existing studio re-configured with a new set design.[5] In January 2023, the series was renewed for its second and third seasons through 2025.[6] Executive producer Jawn Murray is featured on air as a commentator.
