Wendy Williams is opening up “like never before” in the highly anticipated documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?, premiering Saturday (Feb. 23) on Lifetime.
According to a press release from Lifetime, the two-part documentary offers “unparalleled access” to the former talk-show maven. For nearly two years, cameras filmed Williams moving into “the next phase of her life” following the cancellation of her talk show.

“I have no money. If it happened to me, it could happen to you,” Williams says in the trailer, which shows footage of the now-59-year-old media personality inside her New York City apartment.
The Lifetime documentary was filmed in 2022 after Williams was placed under financial conservatorship.
According to People, Williams moved out of the apartment and has been in a treatment facility since sometime last year.
“Wendy has been part of the Lifetime family for over a decade and during that time, we partnered with Wendy for her revealing biopic and doc,” Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and head of programming, A&E, Lifetime and LMN said in a press release. “But her story is not finished. There is so much more to it. Nobody truly knew the depths of Wendy’s reality so we hope that what our cameras captured can help shine a light on what she is facing now.”
In 2023, Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, according to a press announcement released Thursday. Aphasia is a brain disorder that affects the brain’s frontal lobe impacting memory, comprehension and mobility. Aphasia typically occurs after a stroke or brain injury but can also be progressive, according to the National Association of Aphasia.
Where is Wendy Williams? is produced by Entertainment One and Creature Films for Lifetime. Williams is an executive producer on the documentary along with her son, Kevin Hunter Jr. Additional executive producers include Will Selby, Tara Long, Mark Ford, Pat Lambert, Brie Miranda Bryant and Erica Hanson, who also serves as showrunner.
