Shark Tank: 1618 (ABC, Friday, May 2, 2025)

Shark Tank Key Art

This Friday ABC’s “Shark Tank” returns with a fresh batch of entrepreneurs hoping to swim with the big fish. From family businesses to solo inventors, the pitches run the gamut, each hoping to hook an investor – and avoid getting eaten alive.

This week, a family-run Eastern European pierogi business takes a gamble, hoping to expand their doughy empire. Will the Sharks bite, or will they find the business half-baked? Also entering the tank: a seemingly simple solution to the universal problem of misplaced phone chargers, a kitchen gadget that takes the tears out of onion chopping, and a smart mini-fridge designed to keep your drinks perfectly chilled.
