Colin Jost to Host Pop Culture Jeopardy!; Tubi Picks Up Comedy-Drama Series

Colin Jost - Pop Culture Jeopardy!

Prime Video and Sony Pictures Television (SPT) have announced Colin Jost as host of Pop Culture Jeopardy!, the first Jeopardy! series created exclusively for a major streaming service. The multiple Emmy(R) Award-winning writer, actor, and comedian will be behind the lectern when Pop Culture Jeopardy! premieres on Prime Video. Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a brand-new twist on the classic quiz show's "answer-and-question" format that combines the academic rigor of Jeopardy! with the excitement and unpredictability of pop culture. Contestants, playing in teams of three, will need to be experts in categories from Alternative Rock to The Avengers; Broadway to MMA; Gen Z to Zendaya as they compete in a tournament-style event for the grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.


Boarders

Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation's ad-supported streaming service, announced that it will once again be the exclusive home in North America and LATAM for the BBC's critically acclaimed coming-of-age series Boarders, when it returns for a second season. The six-episode second season of the comedy-drama will be a co-production between Tubi and the BBC, and will be produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media, in association with All3Media International for the BBC. The first season of Boarders was Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% rating. Written by BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Daniel Lawrence Taylor, Boarders follows the lives of five talented Black teenagers from inner-city London as they navigate life at an elite boarding school. As previously announced by the BBC, the second season will see a new era for the students at St Gilbert's. With the headmaster who brought them on now suspended following a school rebellion, the acting headmistress has made her intentions clear- she wants them gone. The first season focused on the five outsiders as they begin to thrive in this new boarding school environment and the second season will test them in how much they're willing to sacrifice to survive.
