"People took that literally, but I was thinking in like 20 years!” she said. “But also, what I will say is I meant a different type of ‘slowing down.’ I think there's a version of me that really wants to do more producing, that really wants to do more directing, that wants to do even more work, not only in front of the camera."

"I'll be still doing stuff, but I don't know if I'm going to always want to be doing three movies a year," she explained. "That's amazing. Thank God I am doing that. But I don't know if I always want to be doing it at that level or that way.”

Palmer hinted at exciting guests and fashion in the second season of Password, featuring stars like Jimmy Kimmel, Wiz Khalifa, Chance the Rapper, and Johnny Knoxville. New elements for contestants, like Shoot the Moon and tiebreakers, add fresh excitement. 

“Usually I'm just hosting, but this season, whenever there's a tie-breaker, I get to also jump in on the password fun,” she shared.

Some previous contestants will return, too, for another chance to win cash prizes. “We heard some of their stories of what their life was like and what was happening the first time that they won Password,” she noted.
