ABC Extending ‘Shark Tank’ by Carving New Episodes from Existing Footage Variety

ABC is producing two additional episodes of its reality series “Shark Tank” using already-shot footage, Variety reports.

That will give it five original episodes, but the network hasn’t said when they will air, or if there’s a second season coming.

"Tank" panelist Robert Herjavec tweeted over the weekend that the show had been renewed, but ABC said later that it was instead producing the new episodes.
