Season two of Password will join NBC’s primetime lineup on March 12, 2024. New episodes of the game show will air on Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT.
Keke Palmer (Nope, Star) is returning as host, with Jimmy Fallon back as a celebrity contestant and executive producer. Palmer recently made Emmy Awards history by becoming the first Black woman to win in the Outstanding Host for a Game Show category.
The network says viewers can expect to see more special celebrity guests trying out their Password skills on season two. Celebrities popping in include Chance the Rapper, Laverne Cox, Nikki & Brie Garcia, Lauren Graham, Wiz Khalifa, Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny Knoxville, Liza Koshy, Howie Mandel, Joe Manganiello, Joel McHale, Meghan Trainor, Lindsey Vonn, and Roy Wood Jr.
NBC released this description of season two, which will include new twists and tiebreakers:
“The hour-long episodes will include two back-to-back games with recurring player Fallon paired with a contestant competing against a celebrity guest/contestant duo for cash prizes by guessing a secret password using only one-word clues.
Season two of Password will continue to draw upon gameplay elements from past versions of the hit format but will also include new series additions. New this season, ‘Shoot the Moon!’ can be played when a contestant first sees the password and is confident that they can get their teammate to guess it with just one clue; that player can then tell Palmer they want to ‘Shoot the Moon!.’ If they correctly guess the password with one clue, they’ll get eight points instead of the usual six. But, if they get it wrong, their opponent will get a chance to steal.
New for tiebreakers, Palmer will take creative license to deliver clues in her own voice with the opportunity to ‘perform’ the words until one contestant buzzes in with an answer instead of the show presenting clues. In addition, the second round of games in each episode now includes a special category or theme that relates to all the passwords in that round.
Also new, ‘Password Prize of the Night’ randomly selects a moment during the game where a special sound will play to signify that the next password is also worth a fabulous prize.”
