Poker Face – Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale (c) PeacockCharlie’s remarkable ability allows her to tell when someone is intentionally lying. The show follows her exploits on the road in her Plymouth Barracuda, where she encounters strange crimes she can’t help but solve.

For the new season, there’s another starry line-up. It includes Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, Giancarlo Esposito, Awkwafina, Method Man, Kumail Nanjiani and Melanie Lynskey.

Creator, Writer, Director and Executive Producer, Rian Johnson, and Star, Director, Writer and Executive Producer, Natasha Lyonne say:

“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!”

The 12-episode run begins by dropping three episodes on Friday, 9th May 2025. Weekly episodes then follow. In the UK, you can find Poker Face season 2 on Sky and streaming service NOW.
