The network, NBC, has ordered another installment for the show, which is fresh off its January 2 regular time slot debut, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The yet-to-be-scripted second season will have 13 episodes. The freshman order had a six-episode run.
The announcement comes after the January 2 episode averaged an impressive 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 9.8 million total viewers (with three days of DVR).
DeGeneres, who also serves as executive producer on the show, said she is excited for the new season.
The hour-long game show features games from DeGeneres' syndicated daytime chat show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".
