ABC Sets Summer Dates for Pyramid, The Celebrity Dating Game, The Hustler, Holey Moley, Ultimate Surfer and Others

ABC has released its summer schedule, and it is chockablock with game shows both familiar and new, as well as other unscripted fare.

Returning game shows include The $100,000 Pyramid (which last aired in September 2019), Celebrity Family Feud and Holey Moley (now in “2D,” or something), plus the second seasons (yes, already!) of The Chase and The Hustler.

Brand-new-ish fare includes The Celebrity Dating Game (hosted by Zooey Deschanel and clues-crooner Michael Bolton), an adaptation of the BBC Studios wildlife comedy Walk on the Wild Side, and The Ultimate Surfer (details below).

And, of course, you have the 17th season of The Bachelorette (featuring Bachelor: Matt‘s Katie Thurston), to be followed by Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise (get the latest on that hosting sitch).
