Fashion Police will be returning next year for a Golden Globes special next year, the E! channel have confirmed. The future of the hit bitch-fest came under doubt following the death of host Joan Rivers who passed away, aged 81, earlier this month. The network has now issued a statement confirming the series’ comeback on January 12.
They said: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Joan Rivers and, for the last two weeks, have turned our attention to honoring her memory on all of our platforms. We have also thought long and hard about what Joan would have wanted as it pertains to the future of Fashion Police. We decided, with Melissa Rivers’ blessing, that Joan would have wanted the franchise to continue. Fashion Police will return in 2015 commencing with Golden Globes coverage on Monday, January 12. No further details will be announced at this time.”
Rancic recently admitted that she was unsure if the show would continue in the wake of Joan’s death telling ABC news: "A lot of that will be up to [Melissa] and how she's feeling and how she decides what she wants to do, along with the execs here at E! There is no word now -- they are seeing what Fashion Police looks like without Joan. A part of me is like Joan would want Melissa and us and the team to go on and I know she would, but it's just a matter of can there be a show without Joan? Do we want to do a 'Fashion Police' without Joan? I don't know."
