ABC has had some success in the ratings by introducing a number of game shows to its schedule. In part because of the pandemic, the network has introduced several new ones this season so, they may be looking to drop some of the older ones when things get back to normal. Will To Tell the Truth be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A revival of the classic game show, To Tell the Truth is hosted by Anthony Anderson. The show features a panel of celebrities who are presented with three people who all claim to be the same person with the same incredible talent, job, or achievement.

Panelists in season six include Jimmy Kimmel, Andrea Savage, Sherri Shepherd, Lil Rel Howery, Adam Rodriguez, Nikki Glaser, Joel McHale, Cedric the Entertainer, and Malin Åkerman.
