NBC is down to play more games with Ellen DeGeneres. The network has handed out a season 4 renewal to Ellen’s Game of Games, which ranked as primetime’s No. 1 game show last season.
The renewal news comes six weeks into the series’ third season. DeGeneres has this to say about the season 4 pickup:
“I’m so excited. I love this show so much,” DeGeneres said. “It makes me so happy. I love games. It combines all my favorite things: prizes and surprises. I’m sure you’ve seen it, but if you haven’t, you’ve been missing out.”
The family-friendly game show has been a stable hit for NBC. The show has reached more than 66 million viewers last season and is averaging a 1.2 rating in adults 18-49 and 5.2 million viewers in Live+7 this season. It is tied for fourth among all primetime entertainment programs on the Big 4 networks with kid viewers ages 2-11.
