Closer Magazine FAQ

 

Why is Closer being discontinued?

We’ve made the decision to retire Closer so we can offer subscribers a richer, more engaging weekly experience through Us Weekly. This transition allows us to deliver more of what readers like you love—up‑to‑date entertainment news, exclusive celebrity interviews, and expanded lifestyle content—all while continuing to provide exceptional value as part of your subscription. You’ll enjoy even more of the entertainment news you care about, delivered to you each week.

What happens to my Closer subscription?

Beginning in mid‑June 2025, your Closer subscription will automatically transition to Us Weekly, and this will be reflected on your account page. There’s nothing you need to do—your delivery will continue without interruption, and you’ll receive the same number of issues. You’ll continue receiving Closer through its final issue.

When is Closer’s final issue?

The final issue of Closer will have a cover date of July 7, 2025, and is expected to arrive in homes between June 27 and July 1, 2025. After that, your Us Weekly subscription will begin.

What is Us Weekly, and why am I being moved to it?

Us Weekly is a best‑selling weekly magazine offering:

  • Exclusive celebrity interviews and behind‑the‑scenes Hollywood reporting
  • Fashion, food, beauty, and wellness tips from stars and trusted experts
  • Indispensable guidance on which TV shows and entertainment you should be watching

We believe Us Weekly offers a fresh, engaging experience with expanded entertainment coverage, providing you with even greater value.

What if I already subscribe to Us Weekly?

If you have an active subscription to both Closer and Us Weekly, your Us Weekly subscription will be extended by the number of issues remaining on your Closer account. You won’t lose any paid issues.

Will my subscription rate change?

No—your subscription cost will remain the same through your current subscription term.

I paid in advance for Closer. What happens to my remaining issues?

Any remaining Closer issues on your account will transfer one‑for‑one to Us Weekly.

I have a digital‑only Closer subscription. What happens to my access?

Your digital access will transition to Us Weekly using the same login credentials.

Will I still be able to read Closer content online?
