Get ready for a return of "The Hollywood Squares"

Drew Barrymore will serve as the centerpiece of an updated version of “Hollywood Squares,” which CBS has picked up to air in January. The network announced the reimagined “Hollywood Squares,” with Barrymore as the center square, as it unveiled its schedule for the 2024-2025 TV season.

The show will run on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET starting in January, FOLLOWING “The Price is Right at Night” at 8 p.m. and a new season of “Raid the Cage,” hosted by Damon Wayans, Jr. and co-host Jeannie Mai, at 9 p.m. The three shows will air during a midseason break for CBS’ regular Wednesday schedule of “Survivor” and “The Summit” (fall) and “The Amazing Race” (spring).

A network executive said “we think this is going to be a great 10 o’clock show for us. We now have a really solid Wednesday night of game shows to bridge the ‘Survivor’ seasons. We’re reimagining ‘Hollywood Squares.’ We’re going to be true to to the the old school elements, but like having an anchor of somebody with that personality, those relationships, and just someone who actually is so such a diehard fan of that franchise. We’re super excited about her in the center square.”

It’s actually been two decades since “Hollywood Squares” ran in its regular form, with a syndicated version hosted by Tom Bergeron from 1998 to 2004. The series originated on NBC, where it aired in daytime from 1966 to 1980 with host Peter Marshall. A later syndicated version, hosted by John Davidson, ran from 1986 to 1989.
