“Jeopardy!,” the 60-year-old game show, is entering its streaming era. Amazon’s Prime Video has ordered a spin-off of the classic, called “Pop Culture Jeopardy!,” which marks the first-time “Jeopardy!” has created a version exclusively for a major streaming service. It’s a “brand-new twist” on the show, Amazon announced in a press release Tuesday, explaining that its version of “Jeopardy!” will be played by teams of three while maintaining its “answer-and-question” format. The categories will draw from pop culture, including music, sports, Broadway — and even just Zendaya. A host wasn’t revealed, with Amazon saying it will be “announced at a later date.” The spin-off will also be produced by Michael Davies, who also produces the linear TV show. A premiere date wasn’t announced, but episodes will stream exclusively on Prime Video, which has about more than 200 million global subscribers. “Pop Culture Jeopardy!” isn’t the first spin-off of the quiz show to go streaming: A short-lived “Sports Jeopardy!” was released about a decade ago for Sony’s streaming service Crackle. The show has since been taken down.
