Is it a gift or a curse to be able to spot a liar? In season one of Rian Johnson’s series Poker Face, Natasha Lyonne’s cocktail waitress Charlie Cale used her talents for solving cases that nobody else could. The show was a hit, and Peacock renewed it for season two before the first one was over. And now we know we’ll get to see Cale investigate more crimes when Poker Face returns on May 8th.
The twelve-episode second season will see Rian Johnson return to write and direct the premiere, while Lyonne will step behind the camera to direct and co-write an episode.
Joining the Emmy-nominated Lyonne is an incredible cast of guest stars: Adrienne C. Moore, Alia Shawkat, Awkwafina, Ben Marshall, B.J. Novak, Carol Kane, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Corey Hawkins, Cynthia Erivo, David Alan Grier, David Krumholtz, Davionte “GaTa” Ganter, Ego Nwodim, Gaby Hoffmann, Geraldine Viswanathan, Giancarlo Esposito, Haley Joel Osment, Jason Ritter, John Cho, John Mulaney, Justin Theroux, Kathrine Narducci, Katie Holmes, Kevin Corrigan, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Tom, Lili Taylor, Margo Martindale, Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Leggero, Patti Harrison, Rhea Perlman, Richard Kind, Sam Richardson, Sherry Cola, Simon Helberg, Simon Rex, and Taylor Schilling.
Here’s the synopsis: “Poker Face is a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.”
Poker Face season two kicks off with three new episodes on Peacock on May 8th.
