Barbara D'Urso sparks TV comeback rumors after cryptic social post

Italian presenter Barbara D'Urso posted a brief, cryptic message on X on May 26, 2026, writing “Sarà un autunno meraviglioso!” accompanied by heart emojis. The post ignited a wave of speculation on social media about a possible return to television after her departure from Mediaset at the end of 2023 and an ongoing legal dispute with the broadcaster.

Rai’s Prime‑Time Entertainment director Williams Di Liberatore said D'Urso will not appear in the network’s forthcoming schedule, and no new projects have been confirmed. Nevertheless, rumors circulated that she could replace Selvaggia Lucarelli as a juror on “Ballando con le Stelle” or host a new edition of “Isola dei Famosi”. The debate remains unresolved as fans await clarification from the presenter.
