ABC’s Shark Tank announces open casting calls for Season 5

More entrepreneurs will get a chance to pitch their ideas in front of the “sharks” (Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John and Kevin O’Leary) of ABC’s hit reality series Shark Tank when the show returns for Season 5. Shark Tank begins its open casting calls for Season 5 in select cities starting April 14.

Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Philadelphia will be the five major cities hosting the nationwide open casting calls, and the first 500 entrepreneurs who show up in each city are guaranteed to be seen and will pitch the Shark Tank casting team with their products, services or ideas.

  1. Hi, Laverne. The Sharks will not be doing the interviews at the casting. These casting calls are for potential contestants to pitch their ideas to the casting team for the show.

  2. Will the Sharks interview the contestants at the casting? or Will ABC interview the contestants for the casting?
