We’re so back! Poker Face has had our hearts from the beginning, and season 2 will be no exception. The always-wonderful Natasha Lyonne continues her journey as the human lie detector Charlie, hitting the road for some new weekly mysteries that throw her into the path of some stellar guest stars, including Cynthia Erivo, John Mulaney, Katie Holmes, and more.
From the mind of creative genius Rian Johnson, Poker Face S2 promises a wild ride of eccentric characters and stranger circumstances and we’re buckled up and ready for its premiere on Peacock this spring. Keep scrolling to see some first-look photos and read a note from Johnson and Lyonne:
“Charlie Cale is back on the run, and in Season 2 we’ve taken her journey to the next level one murder mystery at a time. From minor league baseball to big box retail, from funeral homes to alligator farms and even a grade school talent show, Charlie navigates her crime solving existential road-trip with deadpan wit, human empathy, and her signature uncanny lie-detecting ability.
To bring Season 2 to life, we pulled visual inspiration from American 70s cinema, all the stuff we love like Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich. But the backbone of this show is TV – the kind of TV we grew up watching, episodic case of the week gems like Columbo and The Rockford Files and Quantum Leap. Each episode is a mini movie, existing in its own world with a unique tone and vibe, featuring an eccentric lot of characters played by a truly gonzo parade of guest stars. We still can’t believe we got to work with rockstars like Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, John Mulaney, and Awkwafina (and many many more, the list is kinda dizzying) who all dove into the game with joy and came ready to play.
Twelve killer new episodes are coming your way. Buckle up and see you on the road!
Thanks,
Rian and Natasha“
