NBC Renews Password for Season 3 Amid Emmy Nominations

NBC has renewed the Emmy-nominated game show Password for a third season, with filming currently underway but a premiere date yet to be announced. Hosted by Keke Palmer and featuring recurring player and executive producer Jimmy Fallon, the show pairs contestants with celebrity guests who compete to guess secret passwords using one-word clues, with a chance to win $25,000. The series has connected strongly with audiences, blending nostalgic charm with modern twists, and has achieved over 32 million total viewers across NBC and Peacock in its second season. Palmer made Emmy history as the first Black woman to win Outstanding Host for a Game Show, while the show itself also received a 2024 nomination for Outstanding Game Show. Season 3 promises bigger guests, wilder guesses, and more comedic moments, continuing the successful partnership between Fallon, Palmer, and NBC. Fallon is also involved in other projects, including a new reality show, maintaining his prominent presence in unscripted television programming.
