‘Celebrity Weakest Link’ (2025)

This celebrity edition of the rapid-fire quiz format assembles notable contestants who bank money by chaining correct answers, then vote out “the weakest link” each round. Jane Lynch serves as host, with the format originating from the British ‘Weakest Link’ and produced by BBC Studios; gameplay centers on team strategy, timed questioning, and head-to-head final rounds. It arrives September 16, 2025, streaming on Hulu.

Lynch has hosted the modern U.S. iteration since 2020, bringing a mix of deadpan timing and strict pacing to the eliminations.
