On January 25, 2019, Penguin Random House announced that the imprint was being shut down and the two founders were leaving.^[2]^[3] While commercially successful, the imprint "became yet another casualty of corporate restructuring," according to the New York Times.^[4]

In 2020, founders Celina Spiegel and Julie Grau resurrected their publishing house under the name Spiegel & Grau. They said the independent publisher will produce 15 to 20 books a year, as well as original audiobooks and podcasts.^[5]

In 2021, Spiegel & Grau's first release as an independent entity, Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship by Catherine Raven, became an instant New York Times bestseller.
