A Peacok executive hasa given a promising tease for Poker Face season 2 'I think there’s probably going to be some good news at some point soon.'
Poker Face has strong potential for a season 2, as hinted by a Peacock executive. The series, which was created by Glass Onion's Rian Johnson, premiered on the streaming platform on January 26 and is currently five episodes into its 10-episode season 1. It is a murder mystery series following Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman with the ability to expertly detect if people are lying, solving various mysteries while on the run from a mob boss.
The Hollywood Reporter recently sat down for an interview with NBC Universal's TV and streaming chairman of entertainment content Susan Rovner. During their conversation, they celebrated the success of Poker Face, which has become a word-of-mouth hit for the streamer. Though she played coy when she was asked if the show would be renewed for season 2.
The love for Poker Face season 1 can likely be explained with two words: Natasha Lyonne. The star, who is also the lead of the mind-bending Netflix series Russian Doll, imbues Charlie Cale with her signature charisma, and audiences are eating it up. According to critics, Lyonne provides an earthy, compelling anchor to the series' ensemble cast of exciting stars, which also includes Benjamin Bratt, Ron Perlman, Adrien Brody, Hong Chau, Lil Rel Howery, Chloë Sevigny, and Judith Light.
In addition to the cast, Poker Face is offering audiences another taste of Johnson's penchant for packing murder mysteries with twists and turns. The skills he showed off in his early film Brick as well as Knives Out and its sequel Glass Onion, are only being sharpened in the new series. While it remains to be seen if the next five episodes can keep up the momentum, with all the love being heaped on the series, it would be shocking if season 2 wasn't announced sometime very soon.
