"Jeopardy!" fans, are you ready?
The game show franchise is officially expanding to the streaming world for the first time with the newly announced Amazon Prime Video spinoff "Pop Culture Jeopardy!"
The collaboration with Sony Pictures Television, which produces the OG show, will appear exclusively on Amazon in more than 240 countries worldwide, the streaming giant announced Tuesday at its "upfront" ad-sales presentation in New York.
"Pop Culture Jeopardy!" will give a new twist on the classic quiz show's "answer-and-question" format combining the "academic rigor of 'Jeopardy!' with the excitement and unpredictability of pop culture," a statement said.
Prime Video's "Pop Culture Jeopardy!" will transcend pop culture moments and generations.

The syndicated version "Jeopardy!" premiered nearly 40 years ago on September 10, 1984, with Ken Jennings currently serving as host. Alex Trebek hosted the show until he died in 2020.
Mayim Bialik, who was announced as the permanent co-host of the quiz show alongside former champion Jennings, shared in December she would no longer host "Jeopardy!"
Other show spinoffs include "Rock & Roll Jeopardy!" hosted by Jeff Probst; it ran for four seasons on VH1 from 1998-2001.
