Claim To Fame has not made it onto the list of dates – and it has sparked serious concern among viewers.
Sharing the news on Reddit, one fan wrote, “Claim To Fame has been left off the summer schedule for 2025. :(( they canceled it??”
Replying, one worried Claim To Fame viewer replied, “This sucks! My son and I enjoyed watching it together during the summer and figuring out the mystery and laughing at how dim everyone is.”
Another fan replied,”I’m shaking omfg. the worst news I’ve had today.”

And a third said, “Network TV has been struggling with consistency for many many years now… so this does not surprise me, especially a show on ABC.”
Other fans are remaining optimistic and hope Claim To Fame is just taking a short break.
The show is hosted by Kevin Jonas and his brother Frankie, leaving some to wonder if they are simply too busy to shoot a new season ready to air this summer.
“Stinks but at least it’s not a straight cancel,” someone wrote. “Hopefully it’s just they couldn’t get a strong cast together and need more time/scheduling conflict with JoBros (im huffing copium).”
Agreeing, another suggested, “The Jonas brothers have a lot going on this year with filming so usually the show films in April/May and airs in the Summer.
“Maybe Kevin can’t be available the way Frankie is much like he was MIA a lot last season. I hope it comes back but again the JoBros have been really busy lately.”
Claim To Fame first hit screens in 2022 and it was an instant hit with viewers.
The show sees a series of contestants – each with a famous relative – move in to a house together.
The aim of the game is to work out who everyone is related to without giving away who your own relative is.
Loreal Chanel Palmer won the first season after managing to hide the fact she is the sister of Emmy Award-winning actress Keke Palmer.
In 2023, Gabriel Ezra Cannon was crowed the winner. He had kept the secret he is the brother of Nick Cannon under wraps the entire season.
Last year, Adam Christoferson triumphed. He is the nephew of singer Michael Bolton.
Jonas Brothers star Kevin previously said of the show, “I think it’s super easy for fans to play along at home.
“Viewers like to figure it out just like we do when we’re on set.”
His brother Frankie – who changed his name to Franklin mid-season in 2023 – has been Kevin’s perfect co-host for Claim To Fame.
He was just 7 years old when Kevin and his brothers Joe and Nick shot to fame in The Jonas Brothers.
Frankie affectionately became dubbed the ‘Bonus Jonas’ by fans of the band.
Joking to USA Today, Frankie – now 24 – also added, “In another life, I was a contestant on this show.
“I’m able to connect to the contestants in a way where I’ve been in their shoes.”
COMING UP
Meanwhile, programs that have made it onto ABC’s summer schedule include Bachelor In Paradise and Celebrity Family Feud, which is heading into its 11th season.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? is also making a comeback, along with Press Your Luck.
Match Day is also set to premiere after being given a reboot.
The game show, which first launched in 1962, last aired four years ago, when Alec Baldwin was host.
This summer, Only Murders In The Building star Martin Short will be fronting the revival season.
