'Pop Culture Jeopardy!' Shifts from Amazon to Netflix for Second Season

In a surprising move, the 'Pop Culture Jeopardy!' spinoff series is shifting from Amazon to Netflix for its second season. The show, which launched on Amazon in December 2024, marked the first time a 'Jeopardy!' series was created for a streaming platform.

Now, the series, produced by Sony Pictures Television's Game Show Division, will find a new home on Netflix in 2026. Negotiations are underway for Colin Jost, who hosted the first season on Amazon, to return and lead the second season.

The transition comes as Amazon is reevaluating its unscripted programming strategy, with a new global head of television in former Netflix executive Peter Friedlander. Meanwhile, several Amazon unscripted executives have recently moved to Netflix, including the head of unscripted series and the head of docuseries.

'Pop Culture Jeopardy!' offers a fresh twist on the classic game show, featuring three-person teams competing in categories like alternative rock, the Avengers, MMA, and more. The tournament-style event promises the ultimate bragging rights for pop culture enthusiasts.

Suzanne Prete, President of Game Shows at Sony Pictures Television, expressed excitement about the partnership with Netflix, stating that the show "captivated an audience with its fun and energetic gameplay" and that they "couldn't be more thrilled" to bring more episodes to their "passionate and loyal viewers."
