“Hollywood Squares” is back for a new generation. The gameshow, which originally aired in 1966 and has seen several reboots since is back with a new center square: Drew Barrymore.
Executive producer Jesse Collins told TheWrap he wanted to bring back the game show for years, but it wasn’t until longtime fan of the show Barrymore signed on that the project really took off.
“Drew’s Rolodex is insane. Having her in that center square for all 20 episodes just made everybody feel like this is definitely a safe place for me to come and and show my knowledge or lack thereof, and just generally, have fun,” the “Rhythm + Flow” producer told TheWrap.
