Hollywood Squares may have just debuted on CBS, but it’s already making a major splash as the primetime hit gears up for a daytime run as well.

But what does this mean for the show’s schedule? Hollywood Squares will maintain its primetime slot for new episodes, but the daytime run will feature encore episodes which are set to air Monday, January 27 through Friday, January 31 beginning at 2/1c in the afternoon. Starring Drew Barrymore in the center square, the game show is hosted by Nate Burleson and features a lineup of celebrity guests in each episode.

Celebrity guests take turns answering questions while contestants determine the legitimacy of their responses to score points and win big prizes. Primetime episodes continue to air Thursdays at 8/7c until Wednesday, January 29th when the show moves to CBS’s game nights on Wednesday, airing in the 8/7c slot which is followed by The Price Is Right at Night at 9/8c, and Raid the Cage at 10/9c. And if you miss tuning into the live broadcast, Paramount+ will be streaming all episodes.
