Jeopardy! fans, rejoice! A new competition is headed to television screens in 2023.
On Monday, the game show announced its new High School Reunion Tournament, set to air from February 20 to March 9.
Over the 14-day special event, 27 former teen contestants will face off for a chance to win a $100,000 grand prize and a spot in the 2023 Tournament of Champions.
"We didn't want to lose that sort of college energy [this season]," executive producer Michael Davies said in a statement. "We knew we had these 27 players who are all of college age who come from our existing Jeopardy! community, so this was a great opportunity to bring them back."
