Charlie Cale is coming back for another season of mystery on Peacock. Natasha Lyonne‘s human lie detector is on the road once again in a first look at the second season of Poker Face. The second season of Rian Johnson‘s acclaimed mystery series premieres this spring. Poker Face follows Charlie Cale (Lyonne), a woman with the uncanny ability to tell when someone is lying. In the show’s pilot, she stumbles on a murder and goes on the run, pursued by agents of ruthless gangster Sterling Frost.
As she travels the backroads of the country, she invariably stumbles across a murder, which she uses her lie-detecting ability and her wits to solve. The show’s first-season finale had her finally escape Frost’s clutches…only to incur the wrath of another gangster, sending her back on the road. The new images from Season 2 show that she’s continuing to travel from place to place and making new friends and enemies, from a minor-league baseball game to an alligator farm, all from behind the wheel of her beloved 1969 Plymouth Barracuda.

Last year, spotting the wide array of guest stars who dropped into Charlie’s world for an episode was half the fun. This season promises to be even more star-studded as Cale meets another crew of victims, suspects, and red herrings. They include Alia Shawkat (The Old Man), Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians), Ben Marshall (Saturday Night Live), B.J. Novak (The Office), Carol Kane (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), Cliff “Method Man” Smith (Power Book II: Ghost), Corey Hawkins (The Piano Lesson), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer), Davionte “GaTa” Ganter (Anyone But You), Ego Nwodim (Mr. Throwback), Gaby Hoffmann (Transparent), Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian), Haley Joel Osment (Blink Twice), Jason Ritter (Matlock), John Cho (Searching), John Mulaney (Big Mouth), Justin Theroux (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), Kathrine Narducci (Euphoria), Katie Holmes (Rare Objects), Kevin Corrigan (Meet Cute), Kumail Nanjiani (Only Murders in the Building), Margo Martindale (The Americans), Melanie Lynskey (Yellowjackets), Patti Harrison (I Think You Should Leave), Sam Richardson (Star Trek: Section 31), Sherry Cola (Nobody Wants This), and Simon Rex (Red Rocket).
Created by Knives Out director Johnson, the unique structure of each Poker Face episode, which depicts the murder-of-the-week, then flashes back to Cale encountering and often befriending the victim, and finally concluding with her investigating and solving the crime, recalls the beloved detective series Columbo. In a glowing review, Collider‘s Maggie Lovitt declared that the series “has the potential to not only become the best series of 2023 but also inspire the industry to see the benefit of episodic storytelling that draws audiences into the glorious, nostalgia-filled realm of howcatchems again.”
Season 2 of Poker Face premieres this spring on Peacock; no precise release date has yet been announced.
