Brian Williams Signs Netflix Deal for Weekly Show After NBC Exit
Brian Williams is returning to media, this time with Netflix, but the move is already raising questions about what kind of journalism role he’ll play next.
The former NBC Nightly News anchor has signed on to host a weekly podcast-style show on the streaming platform, according to reports.
The deal marks his most significant media role since leaving NBC in 2021 after nearly three decades with the network. But it also reopens debate about his legacy following the 2015 controversy that led to his removal from Nightly News.

The move highlights how streaming platforms are increasingly pulling veteran news figures into new formats as traditional TV audiences decline.
