What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Hustler TV series is hosted by Craig Ferguson. Each episode of the show follows five contestants as they collaborate to correctly answer a series of 10 trivia questions that are worth $10,000 each. Their goal is to build the amount of money in a collective prize pot that grows with each correct answer. The catch is that one of the five contestants, aka the Hustler, already knows the correct answers because of their personal experiences or interests. Throughout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler. The remaining three players must collectively decide which one of them is the secret Hustler. If the two regular contestants are correct, they split the prize pot that could be worth over $100,000. If the two are wrong, the Hustler takes home the full cash reward.
Season One Ratings

The Hustler has been renewed for a second season which will debut June 17, 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Hustler for season two? The show seems inexpensive to produce and can be made without an audience (a good thing in these times). I’m thinking that the network is likely to renew the series for a second season since they could put it back into production pretty easily (and maybe speed up the action a bit).

Awesome show. Family likes to say who they think the hustler is. The clues are fabulous. The host is great. Season 2 please!!
We loved this show we were very disappointed when it was not on tonight
Love it!!!! Very different and entertaining!!
I love The Hustler. I am so upset that it wasn’t playing on March 4th. Was the best program I have seen in years. Please renew.
I had so much fun with this show.
Me and a friend played it every week! I’m sad it’s not on anymore.
Love the Hustler hope it gets renewed.Really look forward to watching it.
Love the show! Hope they renew it!
We love “The Hustler” Fun to try to guess who is the Hustler. Usually change who we think 1 or 2 times before reveal.
Exciting endings.
Got our extended family watching every week!
Please RENEW For SECOND SEASON!
Absolutely LOVE THE HUSTLER! It’s full of twists turns and Craig Ferguson is fantastic as the host! The setting is top notch , I Love everything about this show ! Please ABC keep Hustling to keep the HUSTLER! During these tough times a good whodunit takes my mind off things for an hour ! Thank you please bring it back QUICK! I have withdrawn already!
Those who don’t like this show just don’t get it. This is truly a great show and praying it will get renewed for a variety of reasons. Excitement being number one. Unpredictability being number two. and a slew of other reasons.
I really hope ABC cancels this game show because I don’t find it really good when they fight all the time and I find the clues puzzling and not really helpful to figure out The Hustler for many viewers. Craig Ferguson is a really hilarious actor but I think he should be on a different project than this one so sorry viewers but it’s got to go!
We love it because it us hard to figure out. It is like a great murder mystery…always changing. Nice change of pace.. we have to think outside the box.
Love the show. I hope it’s renewed!
THIS A GREAT SHOW. MY WIFE AND I LOVE THIS SHOW
My favorite show, I would miss it if it was cancelled. Many of our friends are starting to watch it religiously.
Like watching paint dry.
My favorite show! My friend and I watch it every Thursday night! Don’t cancel it!
