‘Claim to Fame’ Season 3 Clue Wall, Cast Reveals, and More

Claim to Fame is coming back soon for Season 3 at ABC. Hosted by Kevin Jonas and Franklin Jonas, Claim to Fame challenges relatives of celebrities to live together under one roof and conceal their identity and lineage in the quest for their own fame and fortune. They will compete in challenges, form strategic partnerships, and play DNA detective in hopes of avoiding elimination, winning the coveted $100,000 prize and step out of their famous family member’s shadow by staking their own “Claim to Fame.”

Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming season.

Claim to Fame Season 3 Cast

ABC revealed the first look at the cast in its Season 3 key art (see below), and later released the full cast photos with a handful of clues per person via People. Click over here to see the cast and read the best celebrity relative theories so far.

Executive producer Eric Detwiler also told TV Insider, for our exclusive July digital cover feature, that there’ll be a big change in the connections contestants in Season 3 have with their celebrity relatives … and each other: “There were some interesting uncovered connections between potential contestants that we really wanted to take advantage of,” he teased. “This is going to cause some mind-bending confusion and then some pretty epic reveals based on who these people are and where they come from.”

Claim to Fame Season 3 Trailer

There is no trailer for Claim to Fame Season 3 just yet, but ABC revealed a new promo revealing some of the cast giving hints (or are they lies?) about their family members. As seen below, an Oscar winner, an “athlete,” and “an icon” have relatives competing this season.

Claim to Fame Season 3’s Clue Wall

TV Insider has an exclusive look at the Clue Wall for Claim to Fame Season 3 (and, yes, you can zoom in to see every teeny tiny detail in the graphic) right here.

Detwiler also told us that there’s a twist regarding the Clue Wall in Season 3: The contestants will have limited time with the Clue Wall this season. “We really wanted to encourage them to look elsewhere — away from the Clue Wall for other information — specifically with their fellow players,” Detwiler said.

Claim to Fame Season 3 Premiere Date

Claim to Fame Season 3 will premiere on Wednesday, July 10 at 9/8c on ABC. The episode will air immediately after the season premiere of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (8/7c). The Jonas brothers duo will return as hosts for the third season.

Claim to Fame Season 2 ended on Monday, August 28, with Nick Cannon‘s younger brother, Gabriel Cannon, being declared the winner. The season saw a noteworthy ratings increase in Season 2. The first season, which premiered in July 2022, averaged 1.82 million viewers. Season 2 averaged 2.066 million viewers.

The list of famous names attached to Season 2’s contestants also hinted at a greater general interest in the series (relatives of Dolly Parton, President Jimmy Carter, and Tom Hanks were some of the season’s biggest gets). The competition also produced a couple of viral moments as fans reacted to the mysteries unfolding in each episode.

Claim to Fame Season 2 was one of the few shows actually airing new episodes during the summer of 2023 due to the simultaneous writers and actors strikes. Unscripted shows such as this celebrity-focused competition series were able to remain in production as the contracts under which they operate were not part of the strikes.

Claim to Fame is produced by Kinetic Content (Love Is Blind, Married at First Sight) in association with Walt Disney Television Alternative. Chris Coelen, Eric Detwiler, Scott Teti and Heather Crowe serve as executive producers.
