#SharkTank returns with double the excitement: a 2-hour season premiere & two pairs of Guest Sharks!
Half a day after it went up, ABC's teaser for the new Shark Tank season had more than 220,000 views. On this channel, a new video usually gathers about 1,500 in its whole first day.
As we reported here, ABC spent the run-up to Wednesday night pointing at a two-hour season premiere. The clip that took off is the one that lays out the whole hook: two pairs of guest Sharks at once. MrBeast sits beside Jeff Housenbold, the investor who ran Shutterfly for a decade. Sara and Erin Foster, daughters of the music producer David Foster, make up the second pair.
The contrast with the clips around it is the striking part. Separate teasers built around the Foster sisters, a MrBeast and Housenbold promo and a mid-premiere nudge promising more pitches each sat in the hundreds or low thousands. ABC also used the same evening to bring back Scrubs with a two-episode premiere an hour earlier, and its "Tonight's the night" clip sits in that same quiet range. Perhaps the full lineup in a single title simply gave people more to click on.
The comment section is small and lively. One viewer bends the show's famous exit line into a joke about Barbara Corcoran. Another says MrBeast's seat in the Tank is reason enough to skip the episode.
