Meanwhile, Suzanne Prete, president of game shows at Sony Pictures Television, said: 'We couldn't be more thrilled to collaborate with our partners at Amazon to make Prime Video the home for our new Jeopardy! spinoff series. 

'With Michael Davies at the helm, Pop Culture Jeopardy! is going to be a nail biter for game show enthusiasts who can expect to see teams competing at the highest level of Jeopardy! combined with a fresh twist of pop culture Olympics for the mind. 

'It's going to be a must-watch for long-time viewers and new fans alike.' 

Jeopardy! fans slammed an episode last month as 'awful' after all three contestants fluffed an 'easy' Disney question 

In a segment, Ken revealed the question to be: 'In this 2017 film, Dante is a hairless breed known as a Xolo dog' 

In the past, other Jeopardy! spinoffs have delighted fans, including Sports Jeopardy! and Rock & Roll Jeopardy!, which ran from 1998 to 2001. 

Jep!, which was a kid's version and ran from 1998 to 2000, also soared in ratings.

The original game show hit TV screens in 1964 and quickly took off due to popularity amongst fans. 

News of a new spinoff comes after Jeopardy! fans slammed an episode last month as 'awful' after all three contestants fluffed an 'easy' Disney question.

Viewers were left underwhelmed by the new batch of players during the eventful episode.

It was during the final round that host Ken Jennings, 49, announced the category would be 'animated film characters.'

But the three participants all got the answer wrong as fans branded it as 'embarrassing for everyone involved'

In the segment, Ken revealed the question to be: 'In this 2017 film, Dante is a hairless breed known as a Xolo dog.'

He wished the contestants luck and started the 30-second countdown before the contestants' guesses were revealed.

All contestants answered incorrectly. Explaining where they all went wrong, Ken dished: 'The Xolo dog is the national dog of Mexico. The Xoloitzcuintle.

'What is Coco? The movie we are looking for.'

In the popular animated Disney Pixar movie, the Xoloitzcuintle stray dog named Dante, transitioned into the main character Miguel's spirit animal in the land of the dead.
