Everybody get up! The rebooted Hollywood Squares is officially set to return for Season 2. It is one of nine renewed CBS shows for the 2025-2026 broadcast season, and the premiere date is right around the corner. The celebrity guest lineup was just announced with some returnees and some new faces. Plus, a holiday special is set to air this month to kick off the season.
The game show was revived by CBS in 2025, after two iterations of the show, the first in 1966 and then again in 1998. Here’s everything you need to know about its renewal, including when you can expect it to return and who will host.
