This portion of an Instagram post mentions a little more detail on the show, plus a new/exclusive element:

For those of you who would like it broken down in the body of the post, instead of just a dropped link:

- Typical structure of Jeopardy! play, but with three teams of three players competing. 81 teams begin in the tournament-style format. The championship team earns a $300,000 grand prize.
- Any player can ring in, but they cannot discuss their response with their team, except for Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy! where collaboration is allowed.
- Along with Daily Doubles, the board will also have a Triple Play. "A Triple Play gives teams a chance to earn triple the clue's value if each member of the team can correctly provide one of three possible responses. Incorrect responses allow another team to steal."

The show premieres  on December 4th with three new episodes on Prime Video.

I mean, if Wheel can bring back the Jackpot, why can't Jeopardy bring back the Bonus?

Over at buzzerblog.com, they are showing a set-shot of what Final Jeopardy! will apparently be like:

I wonder if they will eventually do something like this on regular J! and other versions.  The way they currently do FJ! all started when Alex injured his foot severely years ago, and after that, he only stood in front of the game board during a week-long road show in D.C.  (Maybe a "Power Players" tournament)

The first three episodes were posted today, and yes that is how FJ! looks.

Did the clue also appear on the big screen at all?
