NBC announced today that Password has been renewed for a third season. The news comes over a year after the revival of the classic 1961 game show wrapped its sophomore run.
"Password has really connected with audiences, blending nostalgic charm with a modern twist," said Sharon Vuong, Executive Vice President Unscripted Programming, NBCUniversal Entertainment. "We're delighted to pick up a new season and continue our partnership with everyone's favorite resident player, Jimmy Fallon, and our phenomenal host, Keke Palmer. This season promises to deliver more of the unforgettable humor and surprise gameplay that audiences have come to love."
"We couldn't be more excited to return to Password," Fallon and Palmer said. "It's the only show where you get to lock eyes with a total stranger and think, 'OK, based on absolutely nothing, we're going to bet that you understand that when one of us says 'fluffy,' we mean 'pillow.' We love working with each other so much and are taking it to another level this season with bigger guests, wilder guesses and guaranteed laughs."
Executive produced by Fallon, the show features contestants from all walks of life partnering with Fallon and other celebrities to face off in the ultimate word game. The duos compete for cash prizes by guessing a secret password using only single-word clues.
