SHOW DESCRIPTION

THE PERFECT LINE is trivia reimagined – smart, visual, and irresistibly watchable. Season two of the hit game show premieres on September 14, 2026.  

Hosted by Emmy-winning journalist Deborah Norville, the show puts a fresh, fast-paced spin on game night, where everyday knowledge, intuition, and quick thinking come together in one simple challenge: putting things in the correct order, from the number of seasons the most popular sitcoms have been on the air, to the most ordered items at America's favorite fast food restaurants. With its crisp, colorful look, playful motion graphics, and high-energy pacing, THE PERFECT LINE draws viewers in from the start.

A blend of visual strategy with surprising trivia, THE PERFECT LINE challenges individual players to place items in the correct order. With every new line comes a fresh category and a brand-new metric to master. Contestants who land their item in just the right spot split the cash for that round, with a chance to win over $15,000 across the game.

Each episode features four players competing through two rounds and four total lines. The two top earners advance to the Fast Line, where they race the clock to rack up more money in solo play. The winner then takes on The Finish Line, a high-pressure finale that tasks them with matching five items to five values to complete the ultimate Perfect Line and take home their full bank.

THE PERFECT LINE is the number one freshman syndicated strip averaging 1.24 million total viewers and ranks as syndication’s #4 game show and the #9 first-run strip overall. Season one of the show also posts the largest in-season growth among all syndicated strips, up by +20% among total viewers in Q1 2026 vs. Q4 2025.

Season two of THE PERFECT LINE will feature special episodes including People Magazine editors being put to the test as well as host Deborah Norville’s family. In addition to fun new graphics, there’s a new addition to the bonus game and contestants can choose their own fate giving them a better chance to win money.

THE PERFECT LINE is a Game Show Enterprises Studios production, distributed by CBS Media Ventures with Jeffrey Breeden as Executive Producer and Chana Shwadlenak as Co-Executive Producer. Rob Belushi, Jon Barinholtz, as well as Alex Hague and Justin Vickers of CMYK serve as Executive Producers.

In addition to airing Monday to Friday in syndication on stations across the country, THE PERFECT LINE has a second run on Game Show Network.
