Tonight | Hard Quiz Kids on ABC Family: Ariana Grande, Fortnite and dinosaurs face Tom Gleeson – Tom Gleeson welcomes a new group of junior experts for the start of season three and another contest for the Big Brass Mug.

Meet the first four young experts
Olive takes on questions about Ariana Grande, while Hugo chooses Fortnite. Their chosen subjects put contemporary music and gaming into the quiz spotlight.
Mia brings Doctor Who knowledge to the desk, and Ryan chooses dinosaurs. Each contestant faces the challenge of proving an expertise that extends beyond simple fandom.
Gleeson presides over the competition as the children go head to head. One of them will take the Big Brass Mug, although the show jokes about whether a young winner will even be able to lift it.
