LOS ANGELES — “Shark Tank” is back for season 17 with returning guest Sharks, some savvy entrepreneurs and one big element that’ll set it apart, according to Shark Kevin O’Leary.

“This season may be one of the most prolific in ‘Shark Tank’s history because of the unique situation of the economy right now,” O’Leary told On The Red Carpet’s George Pennacchio.

“Entrepreneurs don’t know what tomorrow is gonna look like, and that instability is making them lower expectations which means better deals for us,” added Robert Herjavec.

The wheeling and dealing is something guest Sharks Rashaun Williams and Kendra Scott are ready for!

“It’s just more competition, better entrepreneurs, Sharks are better, they’ve got more money in their pockets, so it’s a great season,” Williams said.

“I’m more excited about this season, really, than any other seasons I’ve been on before, so get ready to watch,” added Scott.

One thing to watch for are some familiar faces among the entrepreneurs. The Sharks were all smiles when actor Pete Davidson made an appearance in the Tank with his business partner Ben Rosenbaum as they look to make a deal for their sock company, Doublesoul.

“How’s it going,” Davidson said, greeting the Sharks.

“Much better now!,” said Williams, with a smile.

See how their pitch goes when “Shark Tank” season 17 premieres Wednesday, September 24 on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
