AceShowbiz - "Jeopardy!", the beloved game show, is set to make its highly anticipated streaming debut in early 2025. The confirmation came from host Ken Jennings during a recent taping, where he revealed that all 41 seasons of the Emmy-winning program would become available.
The streaming platform for "Jeopardy!" is still to be confirmed, with Hulu and Amazon Prime Video being the most likely choices. Fans have longed for its presence on streaming services, especially after the discontinuation of Pluto TV's dedicated channel in July 2024.
In addition to the main series, the "Jeopardy!" franchise is expanding its digital footprint with "Pop Culture Jeopardy!" Premiering exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on December 4, the spin-off is hosted by Colin Jost of "Saturday Night Live" and features teams competing in pop culture categories.
The announcement reflects "Jeopardy!" commitment to adapting to changing media landscapes while maintaining its intellectual rigor and entertainment value. The show's absence on streaming services has been a point of contention among fans, who have been unable to watch specific episodes or catch up on the show in its entirety.
The upcoming spin-off is also expected to land on Prime Video, hinting that the original "Jeopardy!" seasons could follow suit. This move is seen as a nod to the changing viewing habits of younger audiences who prefer streaming over traditional television.
While "Jeopardy!" will continue to air on broadcast television, it will gradually transition to streaming in response to audience demand. The show's executive producer, Michael Davies, confirmed that they have acquired the rights for next-day streaming from September 2025. As a result, "Jeopardy!" fans will soon have access to the beloved show whenever and wherever they want.
