The producers of the show have revealed their update plans for the current season.
The strike of writers of the American Guild brought Major changes to Danger! This year - as well as considerable controversy. But now that the WGA strike is over, does that mean that the show comes back to business as usual? Not yet, fans have recently learned. In the official episode of the official Danger! podcast Inside Jeopardy! , producer Sarah Foss and executive producer Michael Davies Plans updated for season 40 currently broadcast. Unfortunately for viewers awaiting the regular style and without tournament Danger! , the wait for the new traditional episodes will be long.
Read the rest to find out when you can watch the regular season Danger! And to know what the show will look like in the meantime.

Danger! has several upcoming tournaments.
On Inside Jeopardy! , Foss and Davies revealed that the priority was to broadcast the post-season tournaments for season 39.
"We can enter our official post-season," said Foss. "Second chance for our competitors of season 39. We have champions of the Jildre then the [ Danger ! Invitation tournament]. The Jit occurs ... then fed on the pyramid, Michael, [ Danger! ] Master. I am so grateful to talk about these plans in the way they were intended. ""

New clues are on the way.
Season 40 of Danger! started to be broadcast in September, with a second tournament of luck for the competitors of season 37. The winners of this competition qualify towards a Joker Champions featuring the competitors of the seasons 37 and 38. This change was put into Vigor because the WGA strike has prevented writers from producing new clues. Therefore, Danger! used a mixture of recycled clues and those which were written before the strike. Davies previously explained that he did not want new competitors to compete for the first time recycled clues.
Now, however, the strike is over and WGA members can write new clues.
"I want to recover the original material in the show as soon as possible, and this is something on which we are starting to work with writers," said Davies Inside Jeopardy! . "They have a lot of repressed clues and I'm sure they are going to write like the wind, but we want them always to have the time they need. What they write is really quality, it takes time , so we will not sacrifice this. "
The regular season game will not be back for a while.
Even if the strike is over and new clues are written, it will take several months before fans see regular episodes with new competitors. According to producers, there are still several weeks of planned tournament games.
"I want to assure everyone, it gives us, fortunately, this strike being finished, we will arrive at several weeks of regulars ... new competitors who have never been on the Alex Trebek scene before, "said Davies on the podcast." Not in a competition format, not in a tournament format. We will get there at the end of the season. We should have at least 16 weeks at the end. ""
Foss added: "Depending on the duration of these other competitions, it could be even longer ... We look at at least 16 weeks, let's hope it." The season generally ends in July, so counting 16 weeks from there would mean that regular episodes would not start to be broadcast before April 2024.

Another fan posted , "So I just read that Jeopardy's" regular "season!, That is to say no tournaments or anything, I am not broadcast until April of next year. Am delighted? No; I'm not much for all these tournaments and I would love to look "real", "regular" Danger! ""
Viewers too Caught against the calendar on Reddit. On a thread, a fan shared that they think there are too many tournaments, which "dilute the value of a regular game". They added: "And likely fewer regular matches, there are fewer slot machines so that someone comes and comes to their own sequence." Another Reddit user wrote: "Apparently, we don't get any regular Danger! Until April 2024. Almost two -thirds of this season will be tournaments. So yes, well, far too much. "Another person commented:" Oh my God, is it really until April? It is absolutely wild. ""
