The first season of Jeopardy! Masters performed well in the ratings for ABC, so it’s no surprise that it was renewed for a second season. If the numbers hold up, it might just become an annual event. Will Jeopardy! Masters be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A trivia game show, the Jeopardy! Masters TV series is hosted by Ken Jennings and is based on the long-running syndicated competition series. The tournament pits the six highest-ranked current Jeopardy! champions — James Holzhauer, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Yogesh Raut, Victoria Groce, and Amy Schneider — against one another in a round-robin style format, with each episode featuring two games and three players. The winner takes home a grand prize of $500,000 and the chance to be crowned Jeopardy! Masters champion.
