Shark Tank stars Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Daniel Lubetzky, Kevin O’Leary, Rashaun Williams, and Steven Bartlett, along with co-showrunner and executive producer Yun Lingner, join us for an inside look at the new season.

Over nearly two decades, Shark Tank has turned the art of the pitch into great TV, giving entrepreneurs from across the country a chance to turn a big idea into an even bigger business. In season 18, Kendra Scott and Rashaun Williams join the Tank, and an eclectic roster of guest investors — Mindy Kaling, MrBeast, Jeff Housenbold, Erin and Sara Foster, JJ Watt and Dragons’ Den investor Steven Bartlett — bring perspectives from entertainment, digital media, sports, fashion, and venture capital.

What makes the difference between a clever idea and a great business? How do the Sharks size up not just a product, but the entrepreneur standing behind it? And what really happens after someone lands a deal? Reflecting on how the rise of social media and creator-driven brands have changed entrepreneurship during the show’s remarkable run, Greiner, Herjavec, Lubetzky, O’Leary, Williams, and Lingner go behind the scenes for a look at one of television’s most enduring reality shows, in a conversation moderated by guest Shark, Steven Bartlett.

Get an exclusive look at the new season and hear the panel unpack the ideas, negotiations, and occasional feeding frenzies behind the show. Discover why Shark Tank remains not only must-see reality TV, but a laboratory for ambition, ingenuity, and deal-making. Shark Tank airs Wednesdays at 10 PM on ABC and stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
