It's time to dive back into the intriguing world of Rian Johnson's latest murder mystery series, but not with another Knives Out film. Instead, we're talking about the comedy-drama Poker Face, starring the charismatic Natasha Lyonne. The series, which premiered its first season in 2022, follows a "mystery of the week" format, featuring new guest stars in each episode. The central character, Charlie Cale, played by Lyonne, is an on-the-run casino worker with a unique gift for detecting lies, which she uses to unravel various crimes.
Fast forward to over two years later, and Poker Face is set to captivate audiences once again with its second season on Peacock. Critic Samantha Nelson praised the first 10 episodes, stating, "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 new to the series or eagerly awaiting the next installment, here's everything you need to know to catch up on Poker Face.
