American Greed is going on hiatus. CNBC has revealed that the long-running documentary series is taking a break, but the cable channel maintains that the program has not been cancelled.
Debuting in June 2007, the American Greed series explores white-collar crimes and other business wrongdoings. Narrated by Stacy Keach, the program features exclusive interviews with victims and whistleblowers, going beyond the sensational headlines to tell tales of excess, outrage, and gross abuses of power. The show aired its 200th episode in January 2022.
Per Variety, production on the long-running series was halted due to financial reasons. Many units at NBCUniversal are reportedly looking to cut spending in the ever-changing television/streaming landscape.
CNBC ordered 12 additional episodes in April 2022. Six episodes aired in the fall, and another half dozen ran earlier this year. The last was released on March 7th. According to CNBC’s numbering of episodes online, that was the 24th episode of season 15.
Last year, Denise Contis, Executive Vice President and Head of Content, CNBC Primetime, said, “American Greed is in its 15th season and is stronger than ever, enjoying double-digit percent growth. This season will continue that momentum featuring compelling storytelling and insider access to some of the boldest greed stories in history.”
What do you think? Do you want to see a 16th season of American Greed on CNBC, or is it time for the show to be cancelled? Have you enjoyed this long-running series?
Please keep AG going. I still have not perfected my ponzi.

Would like a 16th season
I truly enjoy the American Greed show. Hope they bring it back. I have a suggestion: Do a show on Joe Guidice of New Jersey Housewives. Would love to hear all the details of what really happened .
Helpful information for public! Hopefully, I’ll not get scammed!
Don’t cancel or put into hiatus American Greed! It’s a documentary show that shows the sometimes naive public: stop being so trusting and realize that a few business folks want to rip off the American people, and have no conscious or regrets in doing so!!
KEEP AMERICAN GREED GOING WITH NEW CONTENT AND GREED EXPOSURE!
I ❤️American Greed!! Please don’t stay on hiatus too long. It’s as good as 60 minutes . -Rik Kennedy
Over the years I occasionally caught an episode here and there and was impressed with it. I finally set my dvr to record it and got hooked on it. It’s the only series I record and now it’s gone. I hope it comes back.
Yes, I want to see a new season of American Greed. I would like to see some stories on Auto Execs that enjoy salaries north of $30 million while sending jobs to low wage countries.
Yes I want to see a 16th season of AG. I would also like to see AG do a story on a disbarred convicted felon from Tallahassee, FL named Phillip Timothy Howard, who ran a Ponzi scheme to defraud 210 sick and dying retired NFL players from their settlments with the NFL’s billion dollar compensation fund. I reported Howard to the FBI for laundering money through his law firm and worked with the FBI in helping to bring Howard to justice.
Been looking for American Greed, and was really disappointed it is not airing. The show is great and fascinating, hope it can manage to start airing again
I would definitely like to see a 16th season of “AG,” and I’d like to see “AG” do an episode on the crypto fraudster, Sam Bankman-Fried. (I call him “Crypto Bro.”)
You better not cancel this show. I Will physically harm myself if you do. Just kidding, but seriously, don’t. I love American Greed. Everyday there’s a new fraud case so the show should last forever.
