New 'Jeopardy' Spinoff Will focus on Pop Culture Trivia

If you're one of the many people who can only come up with a handful of correct responses while watching a typical episode of 'Jeopardy,' the show's new spinoff may be just what you're looking for.

I tend to do a lot better when the show's categories have more of a pop culture lean - like TV and Movie Characters, Billboard Top 40 Hits, and Recent News Events. But when it comes to History, Shakespeare, and Chemistry, I'm a little lost. Actually, I'm more than a little lost. I just plain suck at all that stuff.

Jeopardy's Pop Culture Spinoff Sounds Like a Lot of Fun

The new spinoff will be featured on Amazon Prime Video, the first Jeopardy spinoff to be created exclusively for a streaming service.

Contestants will form teams of three and will need to be "experts in categories from Alternative Rock to The Avengers; Broadway to MMA; [and] Gen Z to Zendaya," according to the press release.

The new twist on the old stalwart will be played in the same answer and question format we're all used to. The new version will be played tournament style, but no information about prize amounts has been released.

There's no host yet for the show, but info about the contestant application process is expected to be released soon, according to Variety.
