After lengthy negotiations, Wheel Of Fortune co-host Vanna White has extended her contract for additional two years to continue on hit syndicated game show through the 2025-06 season.

By signing her new deal, White, whose existing contract is up at the end of the current 2023-24 season, will provide continuity, working alongside Wheel‘s new host, Ryan Seacrest, who will take over for Sajak next fall.
