Poker Face Season 2: Your First Look at Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, and More
Rev up the Barracuda, I’m hitting the road.
Charlie Cale is hitting the road once again – and this time, she’s crossing paths with a new cast of quirky characters. Peacock has released the first official photos from the highly anticipated second season of Poker Face, featuring an early look at some of the top-tier guest stars.
From a trio of Cynthia Erivos (no, your eyes aren’t deceiving you) to a curly-bobbed Katie Holmes to a suited-up John Mulaney, the new season of the Emmy®-winning Poker Face promises to have it all and then some.
Premiering this spring on Peacock, Season 2 of Poker Face kicks off with Charlie (Natasha Lyonne), who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying, back on the run after she rejects an enticing job offer. She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda, and with every stop encounters characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.
Here’s a note from creator, writer, director, and executive producer Rian Johnson and executive producer, director, and star Natasha Lyonne on Season 2:
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.
To bring Season 2 to life, we pulled visual inspiration from American ‘70s cinema, all the stuff we love like Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, 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. 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. We still can’t believe we got to work with rockstars like Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, John Mulaney, and Awkwafina (and many, many more, the list is kinda dizzying) who all dove into the game with joy and came ready to play.
Twelve killer new episodes are coming your way. Buckle up and see you on the road!
Thanks,
Rian and Natasha
