Password Season 3 Launches Tonight on NBC With Star-Studded Guest Lineup

Password is officially back for its third season, launching tonight on NBC.

The game show premieres Tuesday, June 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, bringing back host Keke Palmer and celebrity player Jimmy Fallon. The pair will be joined by a rotating cast of major stars as they face off against ordinary contestants in rounds of word-clue gameplay, with cash prizes on the line.

"Password is 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,'" Palmer and Fallon shared in a joint statement. "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."

The format remains true to the classic game that's captivated audiences for decades. Teams deploy single-word clues to decode the secret password, with Season 3 ramping up the energy through rapid-fire rounds, inventive clues, and unexpected moments.

New episodes will air weekly on Tuesday nights throughout the summer. Those without cable access can stream episodes the following day on Peacock. Viewers can also catch the show for free by utilizing trial periods from live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream—just be sure to cancel before being charged.

The celebrity guest roster includes Anthony Anderson, Ariana Madix, Alan Cumming, Dorinda Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Ice T, Savannah Guthrie, and The Miz, with additional stars to be announced.
