Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew What Would You Do? for season 17? The series seems relatively inexpensive to produce and it’s become a staple of the summer schedule but it seems like it’s becoming more difficult to come up with scenarios. I think that What Would You Do? will be renewed for a 17th season but I think ABC might want to replace it at some point in the next few years. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Typically, ABC announces this show’s renewal a week or two before the new season debuts so we may not get official word until Summer 2021.
