For two years now, audiences everywhere have been captivated by Charlie Cale and the Peacock original mystery series “Poker Face,” created by Rian Johnson.

At long last, it’s clear that Season 2 of Poker Face is drawing near, and we have exclusive snapshots as evidence.

What Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne had to say about Poker Face Season 2

Besides obtaining early photographs, we also receive up-to-date information from Johnson and Lyonne, who are actively involved in the series as writers, directors, and producers. The pair hinted that Charlie will encounter some intricate mysteries set in new locations and circumstances. These include a funeral home, minor league baseball team, alligator farm, school talent show, and yes, even a big-box retail job.

Drawing from the mystery-filled spirit of classic whodunnit stories as seen in Season 1, Johnson hinted that this upcoming season will be visually influenced by American cinema of the 70s, with filmmakers such as Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, and Peter Bogdanovich serving as key inspirations. However, rest assured that the show remains rooted in the timeless appeal of series like Columbo, Quantum Leap, and The Rockford Files, which continue to serve as the foundation for Poker Face’s narrative.

Each episode functions as a standalone film, offering a distinct atmosphere and mood, populated by an assortment of quirky characters brought to life by an array of exceptional guest stars. It’s hard to believe we had the opportunity to collaborate with artists like Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, John Mulaney, Awkwafina (and countless others, the list is quite impressive), who all embraced the project enthusiastically and were fully prepared to contribute. Johnson and Lyonne expressed this in a statement.

The show’s second season will consist of 12 brand new episodes.
