The party rolls on for Jane Lynch and her celebrity friends!

NBC has renewed Hollywood Game Night for a 10-episode second season, to once again be hosted by Jane Lynch.

The Thursday night game show, in which two contestants compete each week in a series of games with a host of celebrity teammates, was created by Sean Hayes, who based the series on his real-life game nights.

"'Hollywood Game Night' allows the audience to take a seat on the couch next to their favorite celebrities and enjoy the pandemonium and exuberance of the colorful cast of celebrities in each episode," said Paul Telegdy, NBC's President of Alternative and Late Night Programming, in a press release. "Jane and her friends know how to throw a party and we're thrilled viewers have come to play too."

Season 1 celebrity contestants included Kristin Bell, Rose Byrne, Nick Cannon, Kristin Chenoweth, Minnie Driver, Patricia Heaton, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Amy Poehler, Martin Short and Jason Sudeikis.

"It's fun hanging with friends and playing ringmaster, while trying to help our contestants earn $25,000," Lynch said. "It's a win-win for all."

Hollywood Game Night airs Thursdays at 10:00 PM ET on NBC.
