Get ready for a new round of trivia battles! Celebrity Jeopardy!, the popular spinoff of the long-running game reveal, is returning to ABC with a fresh format and familiar faces. The series, which has quickly cultivated a dedicated following, will premiere its fourth season, dubbed Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars, on Friday, March 13, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET, according to recent announcements.
The show, which first debuted in 2023, pits celebrities against each other in a test of knowledge, with all winnings donated to their chosen charities. Unlike previous celebrity episodes integrated into the regular Jeopardy! schedule, Celebrity Jeopardy! airs as a standalone program, allowing for a more focused and extended competition. The upcoming season promises to up the ante, bringing back past winners for another chance at glory and charitable giving.
Fans got a sneak peek on Instagram on February 13, with a post hinting at the iconic theme song and announcing the premiere date. The caption read, “We’d know this song anywhere 💙,” followed by “#CelebrityJeopardy! All Stars premieres FRIDAY MARCH 13 on ABC. Stream on Hulu!”
This new iteration of the show has generated considerable excitement among viewers, as evidenced by the enthusiastic responses to the Instagram announcement. Comments ranged from appreciation for the familiar theme music to anticipation for the return of beloved contestants. One user wrote, “From the Alex Trebek Stage at Sony Pictures Studios, this is Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars!” Another commented, “Ooh, a slightly redone version of the theme? I love it!”
All-Star Lineup and Format
Season 4 will feature a competitive field including previous winners Ike Barinholtz (season 1), Lisa Ann Walter (season 2), and W. Kamau Bell (season 3). The remaining contestants are currently being kept under wraps, but executive producer Michael Davies has teased that the lineup will be thrilling for fans. Davies shared insights on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, explaining that the All-Stars format allows for more challenging material tailored to the contestants’ demonstrated knowledge. “It goes to another level when you watch celebrities who we know are really quality at Jeopardy!, and we could write the material a little bit higher, in terms of leveling,” he said in October 2025. “The celebrities, the all-stars, really rose to the occasion. Some amazing games, some amazing wins, some devastating losses. It was just, it was really so good.”
Celebrity Jeopardy! originally premiered on ABC on September 25, 2022, with Mayim Bialik as the host. According to Wikipedia, the show consists of 13-episode tournaments featuring 27 celebrities. In May 2023, Ken Jennings took over hosting duties, a role he continues to hold for the upcoming season. The series was renewed for a third season in May 2024, which premiered on January 8, 2025.
The show’s popularity is a testament to the enduring appeal of Jeopardy! and the added entertainment value of seeing celebrities step outside their comfort zones. Good Housekeeping reports that the show has a “particular cult following.”
What to Expect from Season 4
With the All-Stars format, viewers can anticipate a higher level of competition and more strategic gameplay. The return of proven winners suggests a more intense battle for both bragging rights and the opportunity to contribute to their chosen charities. The show will continue to air on ABC and be available for streaming on Hulu, providing multiple avenues for fans to tune in.
As the premiere date approaches, more details about the full contestant list and potential surprises are expected to be revealed. Fans of Celebrity Jeopardy! and Jeopardy! alike have reason to be excited for this next chapter in the show’s evolution.
