Posted Filed under

Natasha Lyonne returns as Charlie Cale returns alongside another group of high-profile guest stars. 

Director Rian Johnson’s Poker Face landed last year to instant acclaim.

Fronted by Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll), the show introduced us to Charlie Cale – a heroine with the uncanny ability to tell when someone is lying to her and a nose for trouble.
