The highly entertaining Poker Face is gearing up for its second season, and while Peacock hasn’t set a premiere date just yet, the cast list just keeps growing. The latest names added to the mix include Davionte “GaTa” Ganter (Dave), John Cho (Searching), Haley Joel Osment (Blink Twice), Justin Theroux (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Patti Harrison (I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson). As expected, details about their roles are being kept under wraps.
From the mind of Rian Johnson—who writes, directs, and executive produces—Poker Face is a case-of-the-week mystery following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale, a woman with an uncanny ability to detect lies. With her trusty Plymouth Barracuda, she roams from town to town, encountering an ever-changing cast of characters and solving crimes along the way. As for what’s in store for season 2, no official plot details have been revealed, and it remains to be seen whether the story will pick up where season 1 left off.
The first season premiered on January 26, 2023, delivering ten episodes of sharp storytelling and standout performances. It quickly became a critical hit, earning a near-perfect 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and securing four Primetime Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Lyonne. Peacock renewed the series for a second season in February 2023, even before season 1 wrapped.
