Celebrity Family Feud is heading back to ABC, and the network isn’t being subtle about its excitement for the new season.
The show’s official Instagram account dropped the announcement on June 25, leaning on the show’s most recognizable phrase to kick things off. “Survey says… we’re back and bigger than ever!” the post declared. The season premiere is set for Thursday, July 9 on ABC. Episodes will be available to stream on Hulu the same day.
Two weeks away. The countdown is officially on.
Celebrity Family Feud has been a go-to part of ABC’s summer lineup for years. The show takes the classic Family Feud format and fills the contestant chairs with celebrities instead of regular families. Two teams compete to find the most popular survey answers and race to a point goal. Host Steve Harvey is there for every moment of it. He’s been the face of the Family Feud franchise since 2010, and the celebrity edition gives him plenty of material to work with.
Harvey’s reactions to wrong answers, especially the spectacularly wrong ones, have become some of the most-shared moments from each season. Celebrity teams bring their own competitive energy to the game. That mix of humor and genuine fun keeps the show easy to watch on a summer Thursday night.
The Hulu same-day streaming is worth calling out. A lot of viewers have moved away from live TV, and ABC has kept pace by making its primetime content available on Hulu same-day. For Celebrity Family Feud fans, that means no scheduling conflicts to worry about. Miss the live broadcast? It’ll be on Hulu that same night.
Summer is prime real estate for game show television. The format doesn’t require a weeks-long investment to follow along. New viewers can drop in on any episode and have a good time. That accessibility is a real strength for Celebrity Family Feud. It brings a fun game-night energy into the living room without asking anything complicated from the audience.
The “bigger than ever” promise from the official account is the kind of line every show rolls out for a new season. That said, it does suggest ABC has some solid celebrity bookings lined up. The full guest lineup will likely come together in promotional announcements over the next two weeks. Expect clips and teasers on social media in the lead-up to July 9.
For longtime fans of Celebrity Family Feud, the wait is almost over. First-time viewers will find a perfect entry point with the summer premiere. A new season means new celebrity matchups and another chance to watch Steve Harvey react to some truly unexpected survey answers.
July 9 on ABC. Same day on Hulu.
