Hollywood Squares might have just ended its second season a few months ago, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t wondering if it is tic-tac-toeing its way back to another season.

Hollywood Squares is a reboot of the 1998 game show. In this show, two contestants try to play a game of tic-tac-toe and get three X’s or O’s in a row to win the round. This is done by asking a cast of celebrities random knowledge questions. The celebrity has to give their answer, and the contestant has to agree or disagree with them. If the contestant agrees and they are right, they win the square. If they are wrong, they do not earn the square, and their opponent can try to win that one if they need it.

Season 2 ended in May, so Season 3 might not even be on the horizon yet. Here’s everything we know about it so far.

In Season, Hollywood Squares typically airs on CBS on Wednesday nights. After an episode airs and in the off-season, old episodes can be streamed on Paramount+.

    I would like to see Chloe Fineman to star as a guest on the show. I even would like to see Chloe impersonate Drew Barrymore on the start of an upcoming show. Love to see Chloe.

    Since there's nothing in the show that would cause the new CBS owners concern (i.e. anything Trump-related concerning material), I think "HS" will return next year.
