Pop Culture Jeopardy!, the celebrity-minded spin-off hosted by Colin Jost, is returning for a second season — but not on Prime Video. Netflix will stream season two, which the streamer says drops May 11 and will run every weekday through June 5.
Jost, who fronted the show's first run, appears in the newly released trailer and makes light of the move, joking about “switching from one giant streaming platform to another” and even cracking wise about the show’s next home being on OnlyFans. The trailer is the public signal that the series has finalized its new home after one season on Prime Video.
The numbers underline how the show’s run will change. Season one consisted of forty episodes; season two will contain twenty — half of that — and will air on weekdays across the four-week window between May 11 and June 5. The shorter schedule and platform jump are the clearest factual markers of what viewers can expect.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! is the first incarnation of the franchise to debut via a streaming service; the classic Alex Trebek version of Jeopardy! ran in broadcast syndication. That contrast frames the move: a show spun from a long-running broadcast brand that has already been adapted for the streaming era now switches between two of the largest streaming platforms after a single season.
The tension in this story is plain on the page. The program launched in December 2024 on Prime Video and did not return there after one season. Now it reappears on Netflix with a significantly reduced episode order. Those facts sit alongside Jost’s joking tone in the trailer — a publicity flourish that leaves unanswered why the show left its original streamer and what Netflix plans for its new, compressed run.
What happens next is simple and immediate for viewers: the series returns on May 11, with episodes dropping every weekday until June 5. For the producers and the platform, the narrower run is a test — a way to reintroduce the show to a different audience on a different service without committing to the forty-episode breadth of season one.

Yes — Colin Jost is back, and Pop Culture Jeopardy! will be on Netflix beginning May 11 for a 20-episode run through June 5; the trailer’s jokes about switching platforms underscore the change in venue, while the halved episode count makes clear that season two will be a tighter, quicker run than the forty-episode launch season.
