Wendy Williams’ story could soon return to television screens — and this time, there may be two different projects telling it.
According to WBLS, both Peacock and Netflix are reportedly working on separate documentaries centered on the former daytime TV host, with the streaming platforms allegedly competing to be the first to cover the next phase of Williams’ life.
One of the reported documentaries is said to involve Suzanne Bass, the longtime executive producer of The Wendy Williams Show. Initial reports suggested Bass wanted Williams to take part in the project, but conflicting reports have since surfaced. One source claimed Williams is currently too unwell to record new footage, while another pushed back against that claim, stating that the documentary was never planned to include new interviews with the television personality.
If Williams does not end up appearing in either project, the documentaries are expected to rely heavily on archival footage along with interviews featuring former colleagues, friends, and family members.
At this time, neither streaming service has officially confirmed involvement in the reported projects.
Williams’ health has remained one of the biggest unresolved issues surrounding her future. In December 2025, her attorney Joe Tacopina publicly disputed her frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, a condition that has played a major role in the ongoing legal battle over her court-appointed guardianship.
“Wendy Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia,” Tacopina said during an appearance on ABC News’ Nightline, citing an evaluation conducted by New York neurologist Dr. Samuel E. Gandy.
Instead, Tacopina claimed Williams’ earlier cognitive struggles were connected to years of alcohol abuse.
“There’s something called alcohol-induced dementia,” Tacopina said. “That may have been something Wendy was suffering from back in [2023], 24.” He added that Williams “was an alcoholic, no question about it,” while later emphasizing that she no longer drinks.
The attorney also questioned reports stating that Williams’ diagnoses of frontotemporal dementia and progressive aphasia had been confirmed again.
“I don’t agree with those results because I’ve not seen those results,” Tacopina said. “We don’t know who the doctor is; we’ve not seen the report!”
Williams’ court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has repeatedly denied accusations of wrongdoing. Her attorney stated that she “emphatically denies any wrongdoing, mismanagement, or self-dealing,” adding that all parts of the guardianship are overseen by the court.
Meanwhile, Williams has continued speaking out against the arrangement, while her former husband, Kevin Hunter, has filed a federal lawsuit challenging what he describes as an excessive guardianship.
Hunter’s lawsuit also alleges that Williams passed a competency evaluation in 2025 and appeared alert during welfare checks.
The reported Netflix and Peacock documentaries come after Lifetime’s 2024 docuseries Where Is Wendy Williams?, which faced major criticism over its portrayal of Williams’ health struggles. Morrissey later filed a lawsuit against A&E and others connected to the production, though the parties reached a settlement last month and agreed to dismiss the case.
