Prepare for another season of hilarious mishaps and unexpected moments. ABC’s long-running “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” known to fans as “AFV,” has earned a renewal for its 36th season. This staple of family-friendly comedy continues its reign as ABC’s longest-running primetime entertainment program.
Currently hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, “AFV” invites everyday people to share their comical home videos, capturing everything from pet antics to epic fails and heartwarming surprises. The show’s current 35th season, comprised of 22 episodes, wraps up on Sunday, May 18, 2025. This season has seen solid viewership, averaging 3.83 million viewers and a 0.36 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
The format continues its tried-and-true approach: audience members choose their favorite clip each week, and the weekly winners move on to compete for larger prizes. The first-place weekly winner receives $20,000, getting the chance to compete for a $100,000 prize and a grand prize vacation.
“AFV” joins other returning ABC programs, including “American Idol,” “Celebrity Jeopardy!,” “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,” and “Shark Tank,” solidifying a lineup of viewer favorites. With the fall schedule announcement approaching, “AFV”‘s renewal ensures its place among Sunday night staples. From Bob Saget to Tom Bergeron, John Fugelsang, and Daisy Fuentes, the show has a history of engaging hosts, and Ribeiro continues the tradition of guiding viewers through a lighthearted look at life’s funny moments.
