Poker Face Season Two? We Wouldn’t Lie About It

by · VULTURE

Not that they could get it past Charlie Cale, but the news of a Poker Face season two is no lie. Natasha Lyonne plays an accidental case-of-the-week murder-solver with the uncanny ability to know when people are lying — no earth-bending required. Read on for more Poker Face deets, from the new guest criminals to first-look images of the twelve “killer new episodes” coming this spring.


Poker Face 2: Still Poking

Carlie Cale lives! The Peacock series, starring Natasha Lyonne and created by mystery man Rian Johnson, was renewed for a second season — four episodes before season one even finishes. “Poker Face is one of those rare, undeniable shows that we all fell in love with from the start, but the critical acclaim and viewer response has been beyond our wildest dreams,” Susan Rovner, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming’s chair of entertainment content, said of the renewal. The first season was packed to the brim with guest stars like Adrien Brody, Hong Chau, Lil Rel Howery, Cherry Jones, Chloë Sevigny, Jameela Jamil, Nick Nolte, and Stephanie Hsu. We’d kill to see Lyonne’s But I’m a Cheerleader co-star RuPaul or Rian Johnson’s Knives Out alum Toni Collette in season two. No b.s.

When is Poker Face season two coming out, and what will it look like?

As far as the release date goes, Peacock still isn’t fully showing its hand … but at least we finally know which season we’ll be getting this new season. Poker Face will return in spring 2025. In a joint statement, Johnson and Lyonne said that 12 killer new episodes will have Charlie Cale solving murder mysteries everywhere from “minor-league baseball to big-box retail, from funeral homes to alligator farms and even a grade-school talent show.” The duo noted that they pulled visual inspiration from American cinema in the ’70s that they love from the likes of Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, and 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,” they added. “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.” Shuffle through the first-looks below to get a taste of what’s in the cards this spring.
