NEW YORK — Game show staple “Jeopardy!” is teaming up with Amazon Prime Video for a new spinoff centered around pop culture.
“Pop Culture Jeopardy!” was announced in New York Tuesday at the streamer’s first upfront presentation. It’s the first installment in the franchise to land on a major streaming service, Variety reports.
“‘Pop Culture Jeopardy!’ is its own cultural moment, marking the first time the iconic franchise will premiere exclusively on a streaming service,” said Lauren Anderson, who heads up AVOD originals scripted and targeted programming Amazon MGM Studios, according to the outlet. However, “Sports Jeopardy,” which lasted from 2014 to 2016, streamed on Crackle, Sony’s former streaming platform.
The series will keep in line with the decades-old original’s “answer-and-question” format. Anderson noted the clues will center on entertainment “topics that define and transcend generations,” including film, TV, music, sports and theater.
