Claim to Fame has such a fun premise where the contestants aren't the celebrities we all know, they're a relative of theirs whose identity and relation to that star is a mystery. It's a really fun guessing game, and made even funner with two Jonas brothers, Kevin and Frankie, hosting the series. The third season came to a close in August 2024, and we've been wondering about the show's future since then. Unfortunately, it's not great news at the moment.

Claim to Fame season 4 is not happening, at least for now. Which is a huge disappointment! In speaking with E! News, co-host Kevin shared an update about the fourth season at ABC and the competition series' future. Here's what he told the news outlet:

"I think ABC was going in a different direction this time. It doesn't mean it's not going to happen in the future. I just haven't been told if it's going to continue right now."

While it sounds like the network isn't interested in doing another season at the moment, Kevin definitely is looking forward to the possibility of coming back for more, and is hoping that will be the case, per E!. Though as things go, programming is in the hands of the higher ups who make these decisions. There's not much we, or the Jonas brothers, can do except wait and see what they decide.

There's still hope for Claim to Fame season 4

Even with this disappointing update though, the Jonas brother did provide a little bit of hope for fans. He shared there's a possibility that a Claim to Fame season 4 could happen in the fall or winter of 2026. Fingers crossed that's the case!

This might be for the best as Kevin will be kicking off the latest tour with his brothers Joe and Nick, in August. So perhaps timing wise, this might be for the better. As far as reality and competition shows go, this one is one of my favorites and I do wish that we could get another season sooner rather than later.

And though Kevin is hopeful, there's still no guarantee that another season will be happening, or if ABC is just going to let the series go. I really do hope the network will bring the show back for more. It's a unique and fun concept that's always amusing to watch and take a guess along with the contestants on who could be related to which celebrity. I for one will try to remain hopeful!
