It will be a new version of the original show with categories reportedly including alternative rock, The Avengers, Broadway, MMA, Gen Z, and Zendaya.
According to Deadline contestants will play in teams of three and will compete “in a tournament-style event for the grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.”
Despite being a fresh and modern twist to the 60-year-old quiz show, the news was met with backlash as some long-time fans slammed the network on social media.
