PASSWORD: Season 2 Features New Celebrities and Gameplay Changes

PASSWORD season 2 kicks off Tuesday, March 12 at 10/9c, NBC announced.

Celebrities competing this go-round 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.

The series, which is hosted by Keke Palmer (who won an Emmy for her hosting) and features Jimmy Fallon as a regular competitor (paired with a civilian; they face off against a celeb/civilian combo), will also include a number of game changes in its sophomore season.

According to NBC, “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.”

Additionally, “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.”

There’s also the new “Password Prize of the Night,” which “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.”
