A ‘pro-level’ ‘Jeopardy!’ spinoff may be coming soon

A “Jeopardy!” spinoff collection starring the champions of the long-running recreation present could also be headed to TV quickly.

Government producer Michael Davies revealed in a brand new interview with the New York Instances how he’s considering of making a sister TV present that might air dwell and could be full of master-level gamers.

“What we actually have to develop is the pro-level model of the sport,” Davies stated.

He went on: “It appeared ridiculous to me that we now have this sport the place each single yr we take all of our greatest gamers — we take our LeBrons [James] and our Dwyanes [Wade] — and we swap all of them out.”

Jeopardy! fans who enjoyed streaming past episodes of the series were more than a little bummed when, after a three-year run, the show suddenly disappeared from Netflix last summer.
