Here’s How to Watch Valerie Bertinelli’s New Show in 2026 (It’s Not on TV)

Published by Staff Writer on March 3, 2026 March 3, 2026

If you’ve been searching your cable guide for Valerie Bertinelli’s “new show” and coming up empty… you’re not alone. In 2026, Valerie didn’t return with a traditional Food Network series or a new weekly slot on TV. Instead, she took a very 2026 route: she built her own streaming-style home online—called Valerie’s Place—and that’s where her new content lives.

And honestly? It makes sense when you look at how her last chapter ended.

From TV favorite… to Food Network exit… to building her own “place”

Valerie has spent decades on-screen, but in recent years she became a comfort-watch for a lot of food TV fans thanks to shows like Valerie’s Home Cooking and her long run co-hosting Kids Baking Championship.

Then came the shift. Valerie has said she was told budget cuts were the reason she wasn’t asked back for a future season of Kids Baking Championship, and reporting around her exit emphasized that her larger Food Network deal was not renewed.

So in 2026, instead of waiting around for another network decision, Valerie launched a direct-to-fan platform where she can release shows, do live events, and talk to viewers without needing a TV channel at all.

What is “Valerie’s Place”?

Valerie’s Place is a subscription platform that streams Valerie’s new cooking shows, live cook-alongs, and extra community-style content. It officially launched Feb. 25, 2026, and it’s positioned as her personal “digital home” for everything she wants to do next.

Now, the big question: What exactly are you getting when you subscribe?

All the new shows + projects (and what each one is about)

Valerie’s Place isn’t just one show—it’s a whole lineup:

Now Val’s Cooking – A relaxed, stand-and-stir series where Valerie makes recipes she hasn’t filmed before, including dishes inspired by her cookbook Indulge.

Reheated: Valerie’s Home Cooking – Valerie and longtime culinary producer Sophie Clark revisit fan-favorite recipes and episodes, “break the fourth wall,” and share behind-the-scenes stories while giving the dishes a fresh twist.

Meals for One – Designed for real life: simple, satisfying meals for solo cooking—without leaving you buried in leftovers.

Now We’re Cooking LIVE – Live cook-alongs where Valerie goes real-time with members, answers questions, and makes it feel like you’re cooking together (even if you’re in pajamas in your own kitchen).

Getting Naked: The Podcast – A new podcast launching on the platform, built around candid conversations with Valerie and guests about life, growth, creativity, and showing up as your real self.

Val’s Book Club (coming in April) – A live virtual book club where members can read and discuss along with Valerie, starting with her new book.

Superfan Supper Club (coming in April) – Live episodes where select VIP members can actually join Valerie on camera—basically a “you’re at the table with Val” experience.

So… which one are you here for: the comfort-food vibe of Meals for One, the throwback charm of Reheated, or the live cook-along chaos?

Okay, so how do you watch it?

Here’s the straightforward answer: you watch Valerie’s new show(s) by subscribing to Valerie’s Place.

1. Go to ValeriesPlace.com and browse free previews (there are sample videos and at least one classic Valerie’s Home Cooking episode promoted as a free watch).

2. Hit “Join” and pick a plan.

3. Watch on the website now; the site also advertises availability via app stores (with “coming soon” messaging).

Plans, pricing, and what you actually get

On Valerie’s Place, plans are built like “how deep do you want to go?”

• VP General – $2/month (with a free trial shown on the pricing page). Includes select episodes/original shows, Meals for One, the podcast, and read-only community access.

• VP Reserved – $5/month. Adds more shows (including Valerie’s Home Cooking and Reheated) and lets you read + comment across the platform.

• VP Preferred – $10/month or $100/year. Adds Now Val’s Cooking, LIVE cook-alongs, Book Club LIVE, Superfan Supper Club LIVE, and extras like “Ask Val Anything” replays and voicemail access.

• VP VIP – $25/month or $250/year. Includes everything plus the chance to be part of some live shows (the most “interactive” tier).

The Join page also notes cancel anytime and that taxes may apply depending on location.

The fan debate: exciting… but not free

A lot of fans have cheered Valerie on for taking control and building something she owns.
But there’s also a very real pushback: some viewers have said they’d happily watch Valerie… if it were on a free platform like YouTube (or at least bundled somewhere they already pay for). And others have been blunt: they don’t want to add another monthly streaming fee, even for someone they love.

So let’s make it interactive: Would you pay $2/month to watch Valerie again—or is the “one more subscription” thing a dealbreaker for you?
