“What Would You Do?” Series 16 Premieres February 18 on ABC

ABC’s hit hidden-camera series, “What Would You Do?“, is set to return for its historic 16th season on Sunday, February 18, airing from 10:01-11:00 PM EST. Hosted by ABC News’ John Quiñones, the show explores how real people react in public settings when faced with tricky situations and moral dilemmas. The episodes will also be available on Hulu the following day.

For this season, Quiñones will be joined by guest correspondents Sara Haines, co-host of “The View,” and W. Kamau Bell, a cultural commentator and television host. Together, they will observe and analyze the reactions of everyday individuals as they encounter challenging scenarios.

“The staying power of ‘What Would You Do?‘ can be summed up simply: it is the search for the hero inside all of us,” remarked David Sloan, senior executive producer of the show. With almost two decades under its belt, “What Would You Do?” continues to draw in audiences by exploring who rises to the occasion when faced with ethical dilemmas. The program aims to spark thoughtful conversations while providing provocative and compelling television.

In the season premiere, viewers can expect bystanders grappling with various scenarios such as a schoolteacher’s side hustle on an adult-content site, objections to immigrants seeking employment at a local coffee shop, a deli staffer handling a rude customer, breastfeeding in public, and a man bothering a woman at the gym during her workout.

“What Would You Do?” utilizes hidden cameras to capture genuine reactions from unsuspecting individuals in response to thought-provoking situations. By showcasing these interactions on screen, the show brings audiences together while instilling hope through acts of kindness displayed by strangers.

Now entering its 16th season, this award-winning series is hosted by John Quiñones and produced by ABC News Studios and Walt Disney Television Alternative. Executive producers Michaela Dowd and Grant Kahler ensure the show’s continued success.
