Will There Be A Poker Face Season 2? Everything We Know So Far

As a dedicated fan of Poker Face, I can’t contain my excitement for the upcoming Season 2! Ever since Natasha Lyonne’s captivating portrayal of Charlie Cale in the first season, I’ve been hooked on this unique crime-comedy series. The cliffhanger ending left us all eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for our beloved lie detector and mystery solver.


The anticipation continues for more “Poker Face” adventures. Since the premiere of the first season in January 2023 on Peacock, Natasha Lyonne’s portrayal of a human lie detector and detective has kept viewers engaged. However, even though Peacock confirmed a renewal during the initial run, the second season of this crime-comedy may still be a few weeks or months away before it is released.

Natasha Lyonne’s Emmy-awarded character, Charlie Cale, possesses the unique ability to uncover falsehoods. In her latest cases, she diligently works to unravel mysteries while eluding a vengeful casino kingpin intent on silencing her.

Exciting new developments regarding Season 2 are surfacing, increasing curiosity about how Cale manages to handle crime-solving duties while ensuring her own security.

Did Poker Face Season 2 begin filming?

Production on Poker Face Season 2 has begun, according to new showrunner Tony Tost. The Damnation creator announced the news with a photo of a clapperboard bearing the Poker Face label, which he posted on July 1, 2024. Excitedly, Tost, who is 48 years old, revealed that he would be overseeing Season 1 and declared it “day one” of filming for Season 2 in the caption.

As a big fan of “Orange is the New Black,” I was absolutely thrilled to learn that Natasha Lyonne will be returning as a director for the upcoming seasons. Her inclusion in the clapperboard as the director of “The Orpheus Syndrome” episode is a testament to her creative talent and versatility. Having seen her brilliant acting performances in the series, I have no doubt that she will bring the same level of dedication and artistry behind the scenes. Her experience as an actress gives her a unique perspective, enabling her to understand the nuances of acting and directing. With a cast featuring esteemed actors like Nick Nolte, Luis Guzman, and Cherry Jones, I am confident that Natasha will lead them to deliver exceptional performances. I can’t wait to see what she brings to the table in the new episodes!

When will Poker Face Season 2 premiere?

As Season 2 gets underway, fans won’t have to wait long before Charlie Cale is back on the case, investigating and solving weekly mysteries in the countryside while residing in her iconic black Plymouth Barracuda.

Despite starting filming just this month, the movie’s premiere is likely to occur in the year 2025. An announcement regarding the exact release date has not been made yet.

What to expect in Poker Face Season 2?

The specifics of the plot and the introduction of new characters are being tightly guarded. No formal tagline has been released for Season 2, but it’s anticipated that Lyonne’s character, Charlie Cale, will embark on a journey once more since her business deal with casino boss Cliff Legrand, portrayed by Benjamin Bratt, remains unfinished.

As I begin my journey into the captivating world of Charlie Cale, I introduce you to a fascinating character. In her inaugural season, Charlie is unveiled as an accomplished employee at a casino, boasting an extraordinary gift for identifying deception and an innate knack for solving crimes. However, this talented woman finds herself unwittingly ensnared in a grisly murder investigation. To make matters worse, her casino boss, Legrand, insists that she be handed over to the authorities. Fearing for her safety, Charlie makes the difficult decision to go into hiding.

As she eludes her pursuers, Cale encounters fresh faces and unexplorable enigmas, leveraging her exceptional ability at her own peril.

In Season 2, several new characters played by guest stars will be introduced, and Cale will encounter them as they seek his assistance with their respective cases.

Who is the cast and crew?

New information about Poker Face Season 2 includes the addition of four new cast members. According to Variety, Sherry Cola, Kevin Corrigan, Ben Marshall, and Kathrine Narducci have joined the show as guest stars, but their roles and characters have yet to be disclosed.

Natasha Lyonne, our leading actress, is set to reappear, joined by previously announced guest stars: Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani, and Gaby Hoffmann.

In other words, the second season’s sets serve as a reunion for Lyonne and Corrigan since they previously collaborated on the 1998 movie, Slums of Beverly Hills.

In the first season, we were treated to an eclectic mix of guest stars such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, Tim Meadows, Hong Chau, Charles Melton, Danielle Macdonald, Jameela Jamil, Rowan Blanchard, Clea DuVall, Adrien Brody, Ellen Markin, Megan Suri, Judith Light, and more. However, it remains uncertain if any of them will make an appearance in season 2.

Notable is that Judith Light received an Emmy award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy after her role in Poker Face.

Rian Johnson is in charge of creating and producing the second season of “Poker Face,” serving multiple roles including director, writer, and executive producer through T-Street. Previously held positions as showrunners by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman will instead be taken over by Tony Tost, the creator of “Damnation.”

I’m thrilled to share that in the upcoming season of the hit show we’ve all been following, I’ll not only be acting in front of the camera but also behind it as a director, and I’ll be producing under my own production company, Animal Pictures. The Zuckermans, Johnson, Tost, Lyonne, Ram Bergman, Nena Rodrigue, and Adam Arkin will all serve as executive producers, as reported by Deadline. T-Street and MRC are the ones bringing this series to life for us.

Keep an eye out for new updates on Season 2 as filming paces up. 

All episodes of Poker Face Season 1 are available to stream on Peacock.
