Celebrity Weakest Link on FOX (2025–Present)

The newest version is Celebrity Weakest Link, airing on FOX with Jane Lynch returning as host. This celebrity edition features famous contestants — actors, comedians, athletes, and musicians — competing for charity in the classic elimination format. New episodes air during FOX's primetime schedule, and recent episodes are available to stream on Hulu. This is the only version of The Weakest Link currently in production.

The NBC Revival (2020–2021)

Before moving to FOX, Jane Lynch hosted The Weakest Link on NBC from 2020 to 2021 with civilian contestants. This version updated the format with Lynch's warmer, comedic hosting style — a contrast to Anne Robinson's famously icy persona. Episodes are available on Peacock (NBC's streaming service) and may appear on Hulu or for digital purchase on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

The Original UK Series (2000–2012)

The BBC original ran for over a decade with Anne Robinson as host, defining the show's sharp-tongued, elimination-based format. Robinson's catchphrase became one of television's most iconic lines. UK episodes are available on BritBox and BritBox US for international viewers, and select episodes can be found on YouTube.

The US Version on NBC (2001–2003)

Anne Robinson also hosted the first American adaptation on NBC from 2001 to 2003. This version proved the format's appeal to US audiences before cancellation. Episodes are available on various platforms including Peacock, DVD collections, and YouTube.
