Netflix 'Jeopardy!': Streaming Site Adding These Episodes On Feb. 28
On Feb. 28, Netflix will add new episodes of "Jeopardy!" to the streaming platform. The newest additions will celebrate past winners and give fans a look back at some highs of the Alex Trebek-hosted trivia show.
According to TVInsider, the new episodes will feature the "Cindy Stowell Collection." Stowell, who was a science content developer from Austin, Texas, competed on the long-running game show in 2016. She passed away a week before her episodes aired, as she had been secretly battling stage 4 colon cancer, but prior to her death, she had donated $100,000 from her winnings to cancer research.
Seth Wilson's 2016 12-game streak will also be added to Netflix on Friday, along with a variety of episodes that focus on Trebek and his hosting skills.
The addition of the new material means that other shows will be removed from the streaming site. "The Buzzy Cohen Collection," "College Championship II," "Teachers Tournament II" and "Tournament of Champions III" are among the titles that will become unavailable in the near future.
This news follows the recent "JEOPARDY! The Greatest of All Time" tournament, which began on Jan. 7. During the series, fan favorites James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings, and Brad Rutter returned to compete for the impressive title. Ultimately, Jennings took home the $1M prize, while Holzhauer and Rutter each earned $250K.
Holzhauer's return to the game show followed his history-making 2019 appearance. At one time, he had been very close to beating Jennings' record, but his run was ultimately ended by rival Emma Boettcher. Fans likely heard the news ahead of time as the clip had leaked prior to the air date. The unauthorized release of the clip had also prompted an investigation, as the show wanted to take "very, very, very appropriate action" against the person behind the leak.
The new episodes of "Jeopardy!" will begin streaming on Netflix on Friday.
