Celebrity Wheel of Fortune season 5: release date and everything we know about the series

Pat Sajak hosting Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

Pat Sajak may have retired from the daily game show Wheel of Fortune, handing the hosting reins over to Ryan Seacrest, but Sajak is back in rare form to host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune season 5. 

The popular primetime rendition of the classic show once again sees actors, musicians and athletes go head-to-head in an effort to win money for their respective charities. While the line-up of weekly contestants varies from week to week, with changing puzzles, Sajak along with Vanna White will remain as series anchors, providing their usual banter and commentary. 

Here’s everything you need to know about Celebrity Wheel of Fortune season 5.  

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune season 5 release date

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune season 5 premires on Monday, October 14, at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC. 

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is an ABC original show and new episodes air live directly on the broadcasting network. If you don’t have traditional cable/satellite television, new episodes can still be watched live using a live streaming service such as  FuboTV, Hulu With Live TV or YouTube TV. Additionally, episodes can be watched the day after they air on demand with a subscription to Hulu.

At this time, we don’t have release information for new episodes of the series in the UK.

Returning to hosting duties is Pat Sajak. It will be nice to see him at the big wheel as he just recently called it quits with his decades-long hosting gig of the daily Wheel of Fortune series. Vanna White joins Sajak once again in hosting duties in the new season. 

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune premise

Here is the official synopsis of the series: "Hosted by pop-culture legends Pat Sajak and Vanna White, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune welcomes celebrity contestants to spin the world’s most famous Wheel on America’s Game and solve puzzles for a chance to win $1 million. All the money won by the celebrity contestants will go to a charity of their choice."
