It’s about time for a new Rian Johnson murder mystery. No, not another Knives Out movie (yet). We’re talking about Poker Face, the comedy-drama starring Natasha Lyonne. The straight-to-streaming show aired its first season back in 2022, establishing a mystery of the week structure of with new guest stars in each episode. The through line is Lyonne’s Charlie Cale, an on-the-run casino worker who has an uncanny ability to tell when people are lying to solve various crimes.
A little more than two years later, Poker Face is returning to Peacock for its second season. Here’s what critic Samantha Nelson had to say in her review of the first 10 episodes: “Driven by a magnetic performance from Natasha Lyonne, clever writing, and a laundry list of comedic guest stars, Season 2 of the howcatchem isn’t prestige TV, but it should definitely be on your watch list.”
Whether you’re planning to see what’s up from the beginning of the series or have been eagerly awaiting Season 2, here’s everything you need to know to watch Poker Face.
