It's time for another thrilling installment of Rian Johnson's murder mystery series, but this time, it's not another Knives Out film. Instead, we're diving into the world of Poker Face, the comedy-drama featuring the charismatic Natasha Lyonne. The series, which premiered its first season in 2022, follows a "mystery of the week" format, with each episode introducing new guest stars. The central character, Charlie Cale, played by Lyonne, is a casino worker on the run with a unique talent for detecting lies, which she uses to unravel various crimes.
Now, more than two years later, Poker Face is back for its second season on Peacock. Critic Samantha Nelson praised the first 10 episodes, saying, "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 season, here's everything you need to know about watching Poker Face.
