The next episode will air on Tuesday, May 10, with three contestants battling it out against trivia master James “The High Roller” Holzhauer.

The official description of Episode 2 reads:

“OG Chaser James “The High Roller” Holzhauer makes his season three debut as he faces off in a trivia battle against a market research manager, a hospital physician and a music journalist.”

The show preview shows host Sara Haines asking one of the players about the color of the planet Uranus, to which the player locks 'reddish-brown' as her answer. If the answer is correct, she will get a step closer to winning the cash prize. If not, she might get eliminated from the show.

Season 3 features Brandon Blackwell, Buzzy Cohen, and Victoria Groce in the Chaser panel along with James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter. They are ready to put their best foot forward in a bid to stop ace quizzers from answering questions and winning cash prizes.

Ken Jennings and Mark “The Beast” Labbet will no longer be Chasers on the show.
