NBC has renewed Password for a third season, continuing the revival of the classic word-guessing game show that first premiered in 1961. The belated pickup comes more than a year after the show wrapped its sophomore run.

Hosted by Keke Palmer and executive produced by Jimmy Fallon, the modern edition of Password pairs contestants with Fallon and other celebrity guests as they compete in teams. Players attempt to guess a secret password using only one-word clues, with cash prizes at stake.

Sharon Vuong, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Programming, NBCUniversal Entertainment:

“Password has really connected with audiences, blending nostalgic charm with a modern twist. 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.”

Jimmy Fallon and Keke Palmer:

“We couldn’t be more excited to return to Password. 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.”

Password Season 3 is slated to premiere midseason 2026.
