ABC Gives Renewals to Five Unscripted Series, Including “American Idol” and “Celebrity Jeopardy!”

Other renewals include “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,” “Shark Tank” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

ABC has renewed a number of its unscripted series for the 2025-26 season.

What’s Happening:

Deadline reports that ABC has given renewals to five popular unscripted series, including:
- Celebrity Jeopardy! – Season 4
- Celebrity Wheel of Fortune – Season 6
- Shark Tank – Season 17
- America’s Funniest Home Videos – Season 36
- American Idol – Season 9
Details regarding hosts and judges for any of the series have not been revealed. For example, the current fifth season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is Pat Sajak’s last hosting – so we’ll likely see new Wheel host Ryan Seacrest take over for the sixth season.
This season saw Carrie Underwood join the American Idol judging panel, and it's likely she’ll be back for the show’s 9th season on ABC and 24th overall.
ABC previously gave renewals to a number of other unscripted shows, including:
- Bachelor in Paradise – Season 10 (returns July 7th)
- Celebrity Family Feud – Season 11 (returns July 10th)
- Dancing with the Stars – Season 34
- The Golden Bachelor – Season 2
- Who Wants to Be a Millionaire – Season 4 (returns July 23rd)
Match Game is also making a comeback to ABC, with Martin Short set to host the popular game show, which returns on July 23rd.
