Due to the shutdown of television production caused by the coronavirus pandemic, The CW programmers had to get extra creative with the Fall 2020 schedule. The network delayed the premieres of its regular season shows until 2021 and has filled with the fall schedule with programming that have already been filmed. Penn & Teller: Fool Us is one of those shows so it appears that there’s no need to worry about this venerable summer series being cancelled anytime soon because season eight is on the way. Will viewers keep watching? Stay tuned.

A magic competition series that’s hosted by Alyson Hannigan, Penn & Teller: Fool Us showcases talented magicians performing their acts for comedic illusionists Penn Jillette and Teller. Those who manage to fool the pair win the opportunity to perform in Penn and Teller’s Las Vegas act. Magicians in season seven include Shawn Farquhar, Helen Coghlan, Ondrej Psenicka, Paul Gertner, Eric Leclerc, Dev Sherman, Conan Liu, Rubén Vilagrand, Caleb Wiles, D.K., Wes Iseli, and Alana.
