‘Pop Culture Jeopardy!’ Renewed for Season 2, Moving to Netflix in 2026

The switch reflects Prime Video’s revised unscripted strategy following leadership changes.

Overview

  • Netflix will stream the series exclusively in 2026, according to a joint announcement from Netflix and Sony Pictures Television.
  • Sony continues to produce the show, with executive producer Michael Davies remaining attached.
  • Colin Jost, host of Season 1, is in talks to return, though no host or premiere date has been officially confirmed.
  • Industry reporting links the move to Prime Video’s shifting approach to game shows after executive turnover and the migration of unscripted leaders to Netflix.
  • The spinoff features three-person teams competing in a tournament focused on pop culture for a $300,000 grand prize, with such streamer-to-streamer transfers considered uncommon.
