As a huge fan of Rian Johnson’s “Poker Face,” I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming second season! Natasha Lyonne’s portrayal of Charlie Cale, a woman with an uncanny ability to discern lies and a knack for solving crimes, is both captivating and hilarious. The addition of new guest stars like Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, and Kumail Nanjiani only adds to the already impressive lineup.
I’m thrilled to share that Rian Johnson’s captivating mystery/crime series “Poker Face” by Peacock, featuring the talented Natasha Lyonne, is gearing up for an exciting second season. In this Emmy-winning show, I find myself cheering as Natasha’s character, a woman on the run from the mob, lands in a new location with each episode. Surprisingly, she manages to crack unsolved crimes there. Just like last time, an impressive roster of actors is set to grace our screens as guest stars. Some familiar faces include those from “Breaking Bad,” “Batman Begins,” and the upcoming “Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
Based on Deadline’s report, the second season of “Poker Face” will include acting talents such as Giancarlo Esposito (“Better Call Saul”), Katie Holmes (“Dawson’s Creek”), Gaby Hoffmann (“Transparent”), and Kumail Nanjiani (“Only Murders in the Building”). Production for the new season commenced on July 1, and with every episode boasting at least one prominent guest star, and ten episodes in the initial installment, further announcements regarding additional guest stars are anticipated.
In this version, Natasha Lyonne’s character, Charlie Cale, possesses a unique talent – she can tell if someone is lying. With mobsters hot on her trail, she starts anew in a different town each episode, aiming for a normal life. However, she finds herself drawn into a local murder investigation in every location. Her sharp observational skills and biting sarcasm help unravel the mysteries. Notable guest stars in season one include Adrien Brody, Chloë Sevigny, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Barkin, Tim Meadows, and Rhea Perlman. Judith Light’s exceptional performance as a guest star earned her an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy.
The first season of “Poker Face” on Peacock not only attracted a large audience, but also gained recognition from critics. It received a total of four Primetime Emmy Award nominations, one of which was for Natasha Lyonne in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Additionally, Lyonne was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series (Musical or Comedy).
What Can Audiences Expect From Poker Face Season 2?
In the final episode of season 1, I found myself falsely accused of killing my ex-boss at the casino, Sterling Senior, portrayed by Ron Perlman. Despite being proven innocent, an opportunity to join the FBI passed me by when the actual murderer, a mobster, set his sights on me for exposing his scheme. With no other choice, I was forced to flee once more in my trusted Plymouth Barracuda, setting the stage for season 2 and its fresh batch of hidden adversaries. The recently unveiled guest stars have yet to reveal their roles, keeping potential spoilers under wraps.
Giancarlo Esposito is well-recognized for his memorable portrayal of Gus Fring in “Breaking Bad,” a role he continued in the spin-off show “Better Call Saul.” Recently, he has appeared in productions such as “Captain America: Brave New World,” “Parish,” and “The Mandalorian.” In contrast, Katie Holmes is famously known for her long-running role as Joey in “Dawson’s Creek.” Additionally, she has acted in “Ray Donovan,” “Batman Begins,” and “First Daughter.”
Gaby Hoffmann has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, two of which are for her performance as Ali in “Transparent” in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Notably, she has also starred in other notable projects such as “Girls,” “Field of Dreams,” and “Uncle Buck.”
