Pasadena, Calif. — NBC has picked up a second season of Ellen’s Game of Games, the network announced Tuesday.
The game show, which is produced by Warner Horizon Unscripted and Alternative Television in association with Telepictures and A Very Good Production, was given 13 episodes for its sophomore effort.
“I’m so excited to get to do another season because I’m not just the producer and host, I’m also a loyal viewer,” said Ellen DeGeneres, who hosts the show, in a statement. ”I hope this can continue to be a show that families can come together and enjoy watching as much as I enjoy hosting. I don’t wanna say this next season is gonna be even messier, but I have invested heavily into a whipped cream company.”
