‘Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune Strike Streaming Agreement’

Exciting news for fans of ‘Jeopardy!’ and ‘Wheel of Fortune’! Sony Pictures Television has officially inked a deal to bring these beloved game shows to streaming platforms. Starting this fall, you’ll be able to catch all the action on Hulu (including Hulu through Disney+) and Peacock. Plus, episodes will be available to stream the day after they air on TV. If you’re a fan of Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White, and Ken Jennings, you’re in luck – you can watch them anytime you want. And hey, if you’re feeling nostalgic, you can even catch past episodes with the previous hosts.
This marks the first time that these in-season syndicated episodes will be available on national streaming platforms. The deal also includes access to library episodes, so you’ll have plenty of content to binge-watch. According to a press release, this partnership is all about enhancing the viewing experience for audiences.
Keith Le Goy, Sony Pictures Television chairman, shared his excitement in a statement, saying, “We are thrilled to bring America’s favorite game shows to an even wider audience on Hulu, Hulu on Disney+, and Peacock.”
Now, you might be wondering about the messy legal feud between Sony and CBS over the syndication deal for these game shows. The good news is that this streaming deal is completely separate from that ongoing battle. But, it’s worth noting that the streaming platforms hosting ‘Jeopardy!’ and ‘Wheel of Fortune’ are owned by different networks – Peacock is aligned with NBC, while Hulu falls under the Walt Disney Company and airs ABC shows. This could potentially lead to changes in how the syndicated game shows are aired across the US and overseas, so stay tuned for updates on that front.
