Peacock’s mystery, case-of-the-week series Poker Face has been renewed for a second season. The show is T-Street’s two-time Academy Award nominee Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman’s first television series and is produced by MRC Television, along with multiple Emmy-nominated executive producer and star Natasha Lyonne, under her production banner Animal Pictures.
Season one premiered on January 26, 2023, to rave reviews and quickly became certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (99% critic score). Episode 107, “The Future of the Sport,” airs this week on February 16, with new episodes dropping Thursdays through March 9, including Episode 108, “The Orpheus Syndrome,” co-written and directed by Lyonne.
This 10-episode mystery-of-the-week series follows Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and, with every stop, encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.
