TEN’s new Shark Tank series will premiere Sunday, February 8th, the first night of the ratings season.
The US format, an adaptation of Dragon’s Den by Mark Burnett, sees entrepreneurs and inventors pitching to five “self-made multi-millionaires on the hunt for the next big idea”: Janine Allis (Boost Juice), Andrew Banks (Talent2), Steve Baxter (internet pioneer), John McGrath (McGrath Estate Agents) and Naomi Simson (RedBalloon).
As they judge the products and concepts brought to them they will consider whether to invest their own money into the business proposals.
TEN is yet to declare a time for the show, hosted by Sarah Harris, but it is tipped for 8pm following a 90 minute edition of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

Am interested to see if Ten can make this right and keep a serious tone, and not camp it up like Recipe to Riches.
Well I’m guessing they will both be up against the block and mkr? Usually they are both on a Sunday. Not that interested in shark tank but will watch celebrity, at least to see who they are anyway.
The only chance Shark Tank has of attracting an audience is if I’m A Celebrity draws a crowd. The promos are an absolute snore.
I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here and Shark Tank on Sunday nights? I think that this is overkill.
I’m not sure about this program. The promos look boring. I wonder how long it will be before it gets axed.
I’d like to know how many times the cricket cooler promo has been run. I’m sick of seeing it.
I’m not into reality tv but am keen on watching Shark Tank,airing it after I’m a Celeb will give it a bigger lead in audience.I expect it will screen something like 8.07’ish.
The show sounds interesting. But it clashes with other shows that I watch at that time.
I’ve seen lots of Dragons Den series and what you realise is none of the sharks want to give away their money. They shoot down the people asking for investment by saying their product will never work, hence not having to put in a cent. By the end of the series you only ever get a few promises of investment. Some of the Dragons who been known to reneg on their promises or actually not have the funds to follow through. It’s all a con.
Sunday is a bit of an awkward night. I would have waited for I’m a celeb to finish and pop it on a weeknight.
With I’m a Celebrity and Shark Tank taking up Sundays to Thursdays, this probably means Ten will be dumping the Neighbours 30th anniversary documentary on a Friday night. I hope not but it looks like it.
Weekly not nightly show.
Why are they all smiling? They’re sharks, they’re meant to give serious poses.
Also, who are these people? The ads are focusing on the people entering the shark tank. Who cares. We should know who all the sharks are. Which one is the greedy capitalist? Who is the branding expert or marketing maven? Which of them can help build franchises out of these ideas? Who’s the nice one and who is the mean one?
This show doesnt excite me, and I’ve watched all the other major versions of this format. The US is the best version at the moment, followed by the Canadian, then the UK one. At best I expect this version to be a bit better than the current crappy English Series 12 Dragons Den. Willing to be proven wrong but I’ve not seen anything that promising.
Great show (the U.S. version, that is) but the differences between it and Dragon’s Den are very minimal. By which I mean, basically just the name.
