Williams’ announcement comes after she previously revealed that her remote show, Wendy @ Home, would be “taking a break” and that she would be returning when the Manhattan studio opens. New York State, where her daily talk show is produced, recently entered phase four of their COVID-19 pandemic reopening plan and began allowing media production and filming indoors.
This progression allows the show to leave behind the virtual format it had adopted as a safety measure.
The show will be produced in person but with enhanced safety restrictions. The studio will not be filled to capacity and social distancing measures will be implemented.
