Get ready for more twists and turns as “Poker Face” Season 2 rolls into production! After its renewal in February 2023, the hit Peacock series, created by Rian Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne, is back, and fans couldn’t be more excited.
Following the success of its first season, which featured 10 gripping episodes, “Poker Face” centers around Charlie Cale, a sharp-witted Vegas casino worker whose uncanny ability to detect lies leads to a captivating case-of-the-week format. Johnson describes the show as a “howcatchem” rather than a traditional “whodunit,” similar to his acclaimed films “Knives Out” and “Glass Onion.”
What’s New for Season 2?
Production Status: Yes, production is officially underway! Rian Johnson shared a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram, featuring a clapboard showcasing Lyonne as the director for episode two. This marks another creative step for Lyonne, who also directed the Season 1 episode “The Orpheus Syndrome.”

The first season was packed with notable guest appearances from Adrien Brody, Chloë Sevigny, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, so expect nothing less from this upcoming season!
Behind the Scenes: Tony Tost takes the reins as showrunner and executive producer for Season 2, with Johnson continuing as creator, writer, and director. The Zuckerman sisters, Nora and Lilla, who served as showrunners for Season 1, remain on board as executive producers, ensuring a seamless transition and continued excellence.
Produced by Rian Johnson’s T-Street Productions and MRC Television in collaboration with Lyonne’s Animal Pictures, “Poker Face” is set to deliver the same captivating storytelling and sharp humor that fans have come to love.
