If you love games, celebrities and Jane Lynch then you are in luck, because Hollywood Game Night is back for another season. The NBC hit game show has officially been picked up for its third season, which means many more celebrities acting wild and crazy while trying to win money, which is great.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network announced on Friday that the hit show would be returning for 10 episodes next season.

"The celebrity competition series has been a solid performer for NBC, averaging a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 5 million total viewers during its in-season run when factoring in seven days of delayed viewing," The Hollywood Reporter revealed.

"That's up from its summer 2013 run, when it averaged a 1.4 in the demo and 4.1 million total viewers. The series rates high with upscale audiences, indexing at a 106 in homes with $100,000-plus incomes."

Hollywood Game Night has featured stars like Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Christina Applegate, Jason Sudeikis, Sean Hayes and Julie Bowen during its two-season run. Games include "Lil' Picassos," which features paintings from local elementary school children, "Timeline," where the contestants have to put pictures in order based on their years and "Clue-Bloom," which features a giant bowl full of confetti that can blow up at any point throughout the game.

According to a TV Line report, Jane Lynch (who is Sue Sylvester on Glee) will be coming back as the host of the popular game show. She has previously won an Emmy for her role as host on the NBC hit.

For those of you at home who love playing along, there is even a Hollywood Game Night Party Game that you can now purchase on NBC.com. The game includes different games, a scorecard, timer and coasters to match.

There is no scheduled premiere date for season three as of now.
