ITV 'axes' major game show as fans reel 'we were robbed'

In a surprising move for daytime television fans, ITV has reportedly decided to axe the UK revival of the legendary game show Jeopardy!. Despite a high-profile launch on New Year’s Day in 2024 and the prestige of having national treasure Stephen Fry as the host, the broadcaster has opted not to move forward with a third series.

The Rise and Fall of the UK Jeopardy! Revival

The show originally returned to British screens with a 20-episode first series, which was later extended to 25 episodes for its second season in March 2025. Airing weekdays at 4 PM, the program followed the classic American format where contestants provide answers in the form of questions.

However, reports from TVZone suggest that there are currently no plans for a revival, leaving the afternoon slot open for new programming.

Why Was Stephen Fry's Jeopardy! Cancelled?

While ITV has not provided an official reason for the cancellation, fans on social media have expressed their disappointment. Viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustrations, with many claiming they felt "robbed" by the decision. Host Stephen Fry had previously praised the show for its "tough questions," noting that British audiences enjoy intellectual challenges. This marks the fourth attempt to establish a UK version of the show since the 1980s.
