'Jeopardy' is coming to Netflix just in time for Halloween
No tricks here, Netflix subscribers. Jeopardy is coming to Netflix, and it's happening on Oct. 30.
Details are slim at present. Jeopardy is already available for streaming on Hulu, but only the three most recent seasons. A tweet confirming the show's imminent arrival on Netflix suggests a slightly different approach here.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
So we're getting "45 hand-picked episodes," presumably pulled from across the show's entire history. But how are those picks made? Will it focus on the many looks and hairstyles of host Alex Trebek over the years? Top winners? Fan favorites?
My vote is for Trebek hairstyles. (Sadly, that's not the case.)
The Netflix cache of Jeopardy episodes will focus on two themed collections of episodes, a company spokesperson confirmed in an email. The show's recurring "Tournament of Champions" competition and one-time "Battle of the Decades" will both be featured.
UPDATED Oct. 29, 2018, 6:44 p.m. ET with additional information from Netflix.
