Dylan Dreyer, a familiar face on NBC’s TODAY show, has officially wrapped up another chapter in her career. 

The beloved meteorologist and television personality recently shared that she has finished filming for Earth Odyssey, a nature and wildlife series she has hosted since 2019.

A Fond Farewell to Earth Odyssey

Dreyer took to Instagram to announce that she had completed filming for Season 7 of Earth Odyssey,

a program that takes viewers on a journey across the globe, exploring unique ecosystems and the connections between humans, animals, and nature.

She expressed gratitude to her team and collaborators, including Wild Kingdom TV host Rae Wynn-Grant, who joined her for the latest season.

Her message was filled with appreciation for the crew, particularly the Omaha Zoo and Mutual of Omaha, which have been integral to the show’s success. While she did not explicitly state whether she would return for future seasons, her words suggested that she was stepping back from the show, at least for now.

Exploring New Opportunities

Though Dreyer is moving on from Earth Odyssey, she is not stepping away from television entirely. She appears to be shifting her focus toward another nature-focused project, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, where she recently filmed alongside Wynn-Grant. The collaboration hints at a fresh chapter in her broadcasting career, potentially allowing her to continue sharing her passion for wildlife and the environment in a different format.

Her departure from Earth Odyssey marks another significant shift in her career. In recent years, she has made strategic choices to balance her professional and personal life, demonstrating her dedication to both her work and her family.

A Longstanding Career with NBC

Dreyer has been a key member of the TODAY show team since 2012, initially joining as a meteorologist for Weekend Today. Over time, she became a staple on the network, frequently appearing during the weekday segments and earning a loyal following.

Beyond her forecasting duties, Dreyer has expanded her reach into other forms of storytelling. Her role in Earth Odyssey allowed her to combine her expertise in meteorology with a love for environmental reporting, making her a natural fit for nature-based programming.

Additionally, she co-hosts Lunch Date with Dylan and Brian, a SiriusXM radio show she shares with her husband, Brian Fichera. The couple often brings a fun, candid dynamic to their conversations, offering fans a glimpse into their life beyond television.

A Devoted Mother and Author

Family has always been a major priority for Dreyer. She and her husband share three sons—Rusty, Ollie, and Calvin—who have played a significant role in shaping her career decisions. In 2022, she made the difficult decision to step away from Weekend Today to spend more time with her growing family.

In addition to her broadcasting career, Dreyer has also established herself as a children’s book author. She has written five books, with her most recent release, A Peek Out Your Window, hitting shelves earlier this year. Writing for children was not originally in her plans, but she found inspiration in the creative stories she and her husband would invent for their kids.

Balancing Career and Family

While Dreyer remains dedicated to her work, she has been open about the challenges of balancing a demanding television career with raising three young children. In past interviews, she has acknowledged feeling stretched thin at times but remains committed to finding a balance that works for her and her family.

“I’m 100 percent committed to my job and I love it, but I also love my family and want to be with them, too,” she previously shared, highlighting the ongoing struggle many working parents face.

With her departure from Earth Odyssey, Dreyer appears to be making another step toward refining that balance. Whether she will take on a larger role in Wild Kingdom or focus on her other endeavors remains to be seen, but fans can be sure that she will continue to bring her signature warmth and enthusiasm to whatever she does next.

For now, viewers can still catch her on TODAY, where she remains an integral part of the morning show’s weather and lifestyle segments. As she moves forward, Dreyer’s career choices continue to reflect her ability to evolve, adapt, and prioritize what truly matters in her life.
