Dragons’ Den will wrap its 10th season with an all-star cast event on Wednesday, April 6th, hosted by original Dragon Jim Treliving. The special hour-long episode will take viewers on a journey, looking back at some of the program’s most memorable moments.
The current cast, along with former Dragons Arlene Dickinson, Kevin O’Leary, Robert Herjavec, W. Brett Wilson, David Chilton, Bruce Croxon, Vikram Vij, Jennifer Wood and series host Dianne Buckner, will make appearances throughout, reflecting on their experiences in the Den. Additional highlights include original audition videos and rare on-set photography that the Dragons took themselves.
“Dragons’ Den has captured the imagination and hearts of viewers since the first episode,” says Treliving. “Dragons may change, business opportunities evolve, but ten years later, the show still continues to delight audiences. People watch not just for the deals and disasters, but for the aspirational themes that continue to resonate with fans – express yourself, your big idea could be a winner, and follow your dreams.“
“This program predates Twitter, Google Maps, Dropbox, the iPhone and the App Store, but there have always been entrepreneurs,” says Arlene Dickinson (former Dragon 2007-2015). “Dragons’ Den has given Canadian entrepreneurs a fabulous national marketplace from where it’s possible to create and build on our own home-grown entrepreneurial success stories.”
Renowned for showcasing inspired investments and providing opportunities for Canadian entrepreneurs, Dragons’ Den has always encouraged Canadians to engage, explore and take part in entrepreneurship. The iconic CBC series debuted in October 2006.
Dragons’ Den will close the season with this retrospective special on Wednesday, April 6th, at 8pm.
