The 35th season premiered on Monday, September 10, 2018. Jeopardy announced that this season will feature All-Star Games which will allow fans to see their favorite players join forces as teams. The team version of the game will air in February and March.
There will be 18 contestants returning to play in six teams of three players each, with one Team Captain for each team. The Team Captains are some of the most notable names to ever play the game: Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, Julia Collins, Austin Rogers, Colby Burnett, and Buzzy Cohen. Roster players are Leonard Cooper, Roger Craig, Jennifer Giles, Ben Ingram, Matt Jackson, Alex Jacob, Larissa Kelly, Alan Lin, David Madden, Pam Mueller, Monica Thieu, and Seth Wilson.
The teams will be determined by a live draft event hosted by Trebek himself. The draft is set to take place on September 22, 2018, at 10 a.m. PT on Facebook Live. This season will also feature a Jeopardy All-Star Games Fantasy League for fans.
