Peacock has announced that David Alan Grier, Lauren Tom, Lili Taylor, Natasha Leggero and Richard Kind have joined Season 2 of the mystery-drama Poker Face, joining the previously announced Melanie Lynskey, Jason Ritter, Alia Shawkat, Carol Kane and David Krumholtz. Season 1 of the series premiered on Peacock in 2023 and earned four Emmy nominations (including one win for guest star Judith Light).
Executive producer Rian Johnson’s mystery-of-the-week series stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a de facto detective with an extraordinary ability to tell when someone’s lying. Tony Tost is the show-runner, with Lyonne also an executive producer. Johnson and Lyonne wrote in a joint statement teasing the new season: “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.”
