Trivial Pursuit - LeVar Burton

The CW Network announced that it has renewed family game shows Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble for 30-episode second seasons to air in 2026.

Multiple Grammy-nominated, Peabody, and Emmy® Award winning actor, writer, producer, director and comedian Craig Ferguson (The Late Late Show, Celebrity Name Game) joins Scrabble as the show's new host. Former Scrabble host Raven-Symoné (That's So Raven) stays on board the hit game show as an executive producer for Season 2.
