Serena and Venus Williams Step into the Podcasting Arena with Bold New Series

Serena and Venus Williams are resuming their spotlight duties but are replacing their rackets with microphones now. Variety reports that the legendary tennis champions and cultural icons have just announced the launch of their upcoming video podcast, which will premiere exclusively on X (formerly Twitter) this August. This is not merely another celebrity chat show — it’s a groundbreaking platform for unfiltered storytelling, sisterhood, and social disruption.

“We’re so excited to be launching our new podcast, a place where we will share our personal stories, have authentic conversations, spotlight important topics, and laugh a lot,” they said in a joint statement. “This platform gives us the chance to engage directly with our fans who have supported us throughout our careers, and we’re excited to connect with audiences, old and new, in a way we’ve never done before.”

The Williams sisters have already made their mark on sports history with decades of dominance on the world’s biggest tennis courts. Together, they have won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and three Olympic gold medals. Serena holds the all-time Open Era record with 23 Grand Slam singles titles, while Venus broke barriers as the first woman to earn equal prize money at Wimbledon. They have become global symbols of resilience, excellence, and transformation, not just trophies and accolades. The podcasting world is now receiving that same power and poise from them.

Serena’s Nine Two Six Productions will produce their upcoming show, featuring candid, no-holds-barred discussions with an eclectic mix of guests, including cultural innovators and social Changemakers. Two voices who’ve experienced the pressures of fame, the fight for equality, and the pursuit of greatness on their own terms are the leaders of this deep dive into topics that matter.

“The world’s not ready for the real conversations [Venus Williams] and I are going to pull out on our podcast. Don’t be scared… This isn’t just tennis, it’s our unfiltered truth,” Serena posted on X, giving fans a taste of what’s to come.

The podcast will debut on X and then expand to other major audio platforms. With nearly 12 million combined followers on the platform, Venus and Serena already have a global audience tuned in to their every move, and their return to the spotlight in this new format will surely attract fans old and new.

The unique dynamic between the two sisters makes this project so compelling, not just the star power behind it. Sharing a lifetime of victories, setbacks, and sisterhood has shaped their chemistry, and it’s electric. Their trademark mix of wit, warmth, and wisdom is what viewers can expect as they explore topics such as identity, empowerment, creativity, and legacy with a rotating cast of trailblazing guests.

For fans who’ve followed their journey from the public courts of Compton to the center of the cultural conversation, this podcast offers a rare chance to hear from Venus and Serena in a space entirely their own. The sisters have finally reached a full-circle moment after consistently reshaping the narrative around Black women in sports, media, and business. This podcast is not just a media venture but the next step in their influence. Forging new ground is not about repeating old matches, but forging new ground. The project involves creating a platform that respects the past, challenges the present, and envisions a more inclusive and fearless future. As August draws closer, there is a lot of anticipation for what could be one of the most exciting audio debuts of the year. Venus and Serena are about to make another change to the game if their track record is any indication. This time, the court is digital, the services are verbal, and everyone watches.
