New episodes will air Mondays-Fridays from May 11 to the finale on June 5 -- believed to be the first time Netflix in the U.S. has used this format for one of its original series.

Instead of the Season 1 bracket format, it will be three weeks of traditional games, with returning champions who can stay on for up to five games. The fourth and final week will be the "Tournament of Champions" with the top nine teams based on wins.

While we're on the topic of Jeopardy spinoffs, Joe Buck has apparently signed on to host "ESPN Jeopardy", in which ESPN personalities will compete in a tournament to win $500,000 for charity.

No time frame given; it also not entirely clear from articles I'm reading about this if it will be on ESPN, ABC, Hulu, Disney+, or more than one of the above.

I feel like Michael Davies is hellbent on creating an MCU for this show, and it's getting a little old.
