Watching 'Shark Tank' on Friday nights has become a ritual of sorts for many people during this pandemic since all of us are cooped up at our homes.

So, in case you're wondering why your favorite 'Shark Tank' isn't airing and when it will return, then we got you covered. Read on to know all about it.
