What happens

The Weakest Link (also known as The Weakest Link USA) is an American television game show that made its debut in 2001. It is an adaptation of the British television series of the same name. The series made its debut on NBC on April 16, 2001, and with the exception of the first 3 episodes which all aired the same week, the series aired once a week for an hour as part of the network's primetime schedule. The network cancelled Weakest Link in 2002 and its final episode aired on July 14, 2002, with ten episodes left unaired. These were eventually shown on PAX and GSN years later. While the primetime series was still being produced, NBC began developing a daily half-hour edition that would be syndicated to local stations. This version premiered on January 7, 2002, and aired for a season and a half with the last new episode airing on May 23, 2003. In July 2020, a revival with Jane Lynch as host and executive producer was announced. The revival premiered on NBC on September 29, 2020. A second season of the revival was announced in January 2021 and premiered on March 13, 2022. A third season of the revival was announced in August 2022, and premiered on April 11, 2023. On May 12, 2025, it was announced that the show would move to Fox for a new series with celebrity contestants, and would be titled Celebrity Weakest Link. The series premiered on September 15, 2025. On May 11, 2026, the show was renewed for a second season at Fox, and the fifth overall. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
