The Inside Jeopardy! Podcast just released another episode, and it dropped some more bombshell news, including a new spinoff, Jeopardy! Masters, news on Pop Culture Jeopardy!, and much more. Executive producers Sarah Whitcomb-Foss and Michael Davies sat down to talk about the latest in the Jeopardy! universe.
Here’s everything they said in the January 19 episode, broken down for you.

In an earlier episode, the bosses announced that Pop Culture Jeopardy! would be moving from Amazon Prime Video to Netflix. Now, they shared even more about Season 2. “It’s going to be an incredible Season 2!” Whitcomb-Foss said.
The season was reduced from 40 episodes to 20 due to recording time constraints.
