Only the best and the brightest will take home $100,000 if they can conquer the Pyramid.
THE BACHELORETTE
Following her heartbreaking departure after her hometown date on Zach Shallcross’ season of The Bachelor, Charity Lawson’s journey to find love will continue when she steps in as the leading woman for the upcoming 20th season of The Bachelorette, hosted by Jesse Palmer.
CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD
Hosted by stand-up comedian, actor, author and Emmy Award winner Steve Harvey, the iconic game show features celebrities, along with their immediate family members or their extended TV families, going head-to-head in a contest to name the most popular responses to survey-type questions posed to 100 people for a chance to win money for a charity of their choice.
THE CHASE
Hosted by Sara Haines, The Chase is a heart-racing quiz show where three competitors face off against the Chaser, a ruthless quiz genius determined to stop them from winning cash prizes.
The Chase features JEOPARDY! The Greatest of All Time’s James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter as well as three Chasers ― Victoria Groce, Brandon Blackwell and Buzzy Cohen. Each of the three chasers may present an affable exterior, but their good natures shouldn’t fool anyone.
Victoria Groce, “The Queen” of all things trivia, has been dubbed the smartest woman in the world based on her domination of online trivia tournaments and is sure to strike fear in the hearts of contestants; Brandon “The Lightning Bolt” Blackwell is a speed-quiz champ and has beaten both Brad and James at the game; and Buzzy “The Stunner” Cohen is no exception, known for his flashy personal style and razor-sharp wit, like the others … he doesn’t like to lose.
CLAIM TO FAME
Hosted by Kevin and Franklin Jonas, Claim to Fame challenges relatives of celebrities to live together under one roof and conceal their identity and lineage in the quest for their own fame and fortune. They will compete in challenges, form strategic partnerships and play DNA detective in hopes of avoiding elimination, winning the coveted $100,000 prize and step out of their famous family member’s shadow by staking their own “Claim to Fame.” Season two will be double the fun, with super-sized competition, drama and more!
GENERATION GAP
Hosted by Emmy Award winner Kelly Ripa, the comedy quiz game show from Emmy® Award-winning producers Jimmy Kimmel and Mark Burnett returns for another season of family fun and laughter. Generation Gap pairs teams of seniors and juniors, challenging them to answer questions about pop culture from each other’s generations.
JEOPARDY! MASTERS
Jeopardy! Masters, produced by Sony Pictures Television and hosted by the “GOAT” Ken Jennings, is the latest iteration of America’s Favorite Quiz Show. Each hourlong episode of the new series will showcase the six highest-ranked current Jeopardy! contestants, with two action-packed and high-stakes games. Audiences will follow along as Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Andrew He, Sam Buttrey and James Holzhauer go head-to-head for the grand prize and the title of Jeopardy! Masters Champion.
JUDGE STEVE HARVEY
In the one-hour unscripted courtroom comedy series Judge Steve Harvey, the judge, the jury and the star of the series, Steve Harvey, will welcome a variety of conflicts and characters to his courtroom – from small claims to big disputes and everything in between. Steve plays by his own rules, basing his courtroom on his own life experiences and some good old common sense.
THE PRANK PANEL
The Prank Panel lets everyday people pitch pranks targeting family members, friends and co-workers to a panel of the world’s greatest pranksters. Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre and Gabourey Sidibe form the all-star panel of “pranxperts,” taking viewers behind the scenes as they help to plot and plan elaborate and diabolical schemes. The Panelists serve as mentors and saboteurs, with celebrity guests sometimes joining the fun.
PRESS YOUR LUCK
Hosted by Elizabeth Banks, Press Your Luck is a game of wits, strategy and even higher stakes as contestants try to avoid the iconic and devilish WHAMMY for a chance at life-changing cash and prizes. During each game of Press Your Luck, three contestants compete against each other answering questions to earn spins on the Big Board.
Contestants then use their spins to win cash and prizes while trying to avoid the WHAMMY, who could take all of their winnings and leave them with nothing. The winning contestant moves on to the bonus round to face the WHAMMY in a final battle for the chance to win $1 million.
THE WONDER YEARS
Inspired by the beloved award-winning series of the same name, The Wonder Years is an original coming-of-age comedy that tells the story of the Williams family during the late 1960s, spotlighting the ups and downs of growing up in a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama, and the friendship, laughter and lessons along the way.
The Peabody Award-winning series stars Don Cheadle, narrating the series as Adult Dean Williams, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Dean Williams, Dulé Hill as Bill Williams, Saycon Sengbloh as Lillian Williams, Laura Kariuki as Kim Williams, Julian Lerner as Brad Hitman, Amari O’Neil as Cory Long, and Milan Ray as Keisa Clemmons.
