Valerie Bertinelli Reveals the Release Date for Her New Show, “Valerie’s Place”

Published by Staff Writer on

For decades, Valerie Bertinelli has been one of those rare TV stars who feels familiar in every era—whether you first knew her as the bright, lovable teen on One Day at a Time or later as the steady, hilarious presence on Hot in Cleveland. She built a career that wasn’t just long… it was flexible, moving easily from sitcom sets to talk shows, memoirs, and eventually a second act that surprised a lot of people: food television.

And that’s where the plot twist really began.

When Valerie stepped into the Food Network world, she didn’t come in as a “celebrity guest.” She came in like someone who actually belonged there—cooking for friends, telling stories, making the kitchen feel like a real living room. Her signature series Valerie’s Home Cooking premiered in 2015 and ran for 14 seasons, and Valerie later confirmed the show was ending after the network canceled it.

Then there was Kids Baking Championship, where she became a fan-favorite alongside Duff Goldman—part judge, part cheerleader, part calming energy when the pressure hit those young contestants. But in early 2024, Valerie revealed she wouldn’t be asked back, and she said she believed it came down to budget cuts.

That exit stung—and not just professionally. Valerie was openly emotional about it, explaining how much the show meant to her during a hard personal chapter.

So what did she do next?

Instead of disappearing, she pivoted. In 2025, Valerie popped up in a totally different lane: game-show hosting, fronting Game Show Network’s Bingo Blitz, which premiered April 14, 2025.

But while viewers were getting used to this “new Valerie,” she was quietly building something else in the background—something she says has been in development for over two years.

Now, she’s finally giving fans the update they’ve been waiting for: Valerie says her new project, “Valerie’s Place,” is set to launch in March 2026.

So what is Valerie’s Place?

It’s not just a single cooking show—and it’s not a standard cable-TV comeback. Valerie has described it as a new online community where she can create on her own terms. And the plan is packed: multiple cooking shows, live cook-alongs, an interactive book group, and even “Getting Naked” the podcast—a title tied directly to her upcoming memoir.

Her official site is already set up with “Valerie’s Place” branding and sections like Watch, Recipes, and Subscribe, but it still reads “Launching soon!” with a sign-up prompt—basically a waiting room for the big March drop.

And that timing matters, because Valerie’s memoir Getting Naked is scheduled to release on March 10, 2026—right in the same month she’s teasing as the launch window for Valerie’s Place.

What fans should expect is a more personal, less “network-approved” Valerie: cooking content that can be casual or deep, community moments that feel interactive instead of one-way, and a space where she can mix food with real-life conversation—without having to fit into a Food Network programming box.

After years of being welcomed into other people’s TV homes, Valerie is betting on something different now: building her own. And if March 2026 is the start date… this might be the beginning of her most personal chapter yet.
