For its second season, Prime Video‘s popular game show Pop Culture Jeopardy! has officially moved to a new streaming home in the form of Netflix. The series is a brand-new twist on the classic quiz show’s “answer-and-question” format that combines the academic rigor of the original game show. This renewal comes nearly a year after the spin-off made its debut on Prime Video, with Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost hosting the first installment.
“Contestants test their pop culture knowledge in various categories — from ‘Horror Made Wholesome’ to ‘Bummer Movie Endings’ — covering TV, movies, and music,” reads the streamer’s description of the show. “But the topics aren’t the only thing that’s different from the original quiz show. In this tournament-style game, teams of three play through knockout rounds until one emerges triumphant. And it wouldn’t be a competition show without a life-changing grand prize and, of course, bragging rights.”
What did Sony Pictures Television say about Pop Culture Jeopardy!’s move to Netflix?
According to Deadline, Jost is currently in talks to return as the host of Pop Culture Jeopardy! Season 2, which is expected to premiere sometime in 2026 on Netflix. The first installment served as Jost’s first time hosting a competition TV show. It is produced by Sony Pictures Television’s Game Show Division.
“Pop Culture Jeopardy! captivated an audience with its fun and energetic gameplay, building on the beloved franchise and offering fans an opportunity to test their zeitgeist knowledge,” Sony Pictures Television executive Suzanne Prete said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be partnering with the exemplary team at Netflix to bring more episodes to our passionate and loyal viewers.”
