THE CW NETWORK RENEWS FAMILY GAME SHOWS "TRIVIAL PURSUIT" AND "SCRABBLE" FOR 30-EPISODE SECOND SEASONS

Multiple Grammy-Nominated, Peabody, and Emmy(R) Award Winner Craig Ferguson Joins "Scrabble" as Host

Emmy(R) Award Winner and Fan Favorite LeVar Burton Returns as Host and Executive Producer of "Trivial Pursuit"

Raven-Symoné Named Executive Producer of "Scrabble"

BURBANK, CA (May 19, 2025) - The CW Network today announced that it has renewed family game shows TRIVIAL PURSUIT and SCRABBLE for 30-episode second seasons to air in 2026.

Multiple Grammy-nominated, Peabody, and Emmy(R) Award winning actor, writer, producer, director and comedian Craig Ferguson ("The Late Late Show," "Celebrity Name Game") joins SCRABBLE as the show's new host. Fan favorite Emmy(R) Award-winning actor, director, producer, and podcaster, LeVar Burton ("Roots," "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Reading Rainbow") will return to host and executive produce TRIVIAL PURSUIT. Former SCRABBLE host Raven-Symoné ("That's So Raven") stays on board the hit game show as an executive producer for Season 2. Both series based on the classic board games are produced by Hasbro Entertainment alongside Lionsgate Alternative Television, with Mattel Television Studios co-producing SCRABBLE.

"We are excited to continue growing family game night on The CW by bringing a supersized order of 30 new episodes of both TRIVIAL PURSUIT and SCRABBLE to the network next year," said Heather Olander, Head of Unscripted Programming, The CW Network. "The one and only LeVar Burton is back as host for TRIVIAL PURSUIT and we welcome superstar comedian Craig Ferguson to The CW family as the new host of SCRABBLE. We are also incredibly grateful and lucky that Raven-Symoné will continue to work with us as executive producer of the series."

Ferguson is a New York Times bestselling author who has recorded numerous standup specials for Netflix, Epix, Comedy Central and Amazon. The wildly popular "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" ran on CBS for ten years and remains a cult favorite on YouTube, racking up millions of views every year.

"I'm cock-a-hoop to be hosting SCRABBLE. I've wanted to do this show ever since I found out the letters of my name can be used to spell Cougar Fingers," said Ferguson.

In TRIVIAL PURSUIT, the beloved board game is reimagined in a question-packed entertainment format. Play occurs on a giant version of the iconic Trivial Pursuit game board, as contestants battle through a range of play-along question categories to win wedges and beat each other to the center. The victor then takes on a dramatic finale against the clock to claim the big money jackpot. TRIVIAL PURSUIT is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Lionsgate Alternative Television and Talpa Studios. David Hurwitz serves as showrunner and executive producer. Gabriel Marano, David Garfinkle, John De Mol, Matt Walton, Matt Pritchard and LeVar Burton serve as executive producers.

SCRABBLE is a captivating, fast-paced take on the global board-game phenomenon. In each episode, wordsmiths battle it out by playing a series of addictive, word-based games to win points and add words to a giant SCRABBLE board in the center of the set. SCRABBLE is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Mattel Television Studios and Lionsgate Alternative Television. David Hurwitz serves as showrunner and executive producer. Raven-Symoné serves as executive producer alongside Gabriel Marano, David Garfinkle and Chynna Weiss.
