Season 1 of Peacock‘s mystery-of-the-week series Poker Face may have aired more than a year ago, but we’re still dying to take on another case with Natasha Lyonne‘s extraordinarily astute Charlie Cale.
The character with a talent for detecting the truth will return for more fun as Season 2 of the series gets underway, but as we wait for the show’s streaming return, we’re breaking down everything we know so far from the cast and directors to a potential premiere window, and beyond. For a closer look at what’s ahead, see what’s in store for Poker Face Season 2, below.
What Is Poker Face Season 2 About?

No official loglines or storylines have been revealed at this time, but as fans may remember, Charlie was still on the run after Cliff Legrand (Benjamin Bratt) double-crossed Sterling Frost Sr. (Ron Perlman), making Charlie appear guilty in a mob hit. While it’s unclear if this storyline will continue where it left off or pick up sometime after, we can only imagine the characters that Charlie will bump into as Season 2 of the series unfolds.
Many of the mysteries Charlie tackled in each episode involved some kind of death with her weeding out the liars for an often twisty revelation and resolution.
Who Stars in Poker Face Season 2?
Lyonne is back for Season 2, and considering Cliff’s role in the series, we’re hoping for Bratt’s return as well, but for now, we know that Kumail Nanjiani, Giancarlo Esposito, Gaby Hoffmann, and Katie Holmes will feature in Season 2 episodes in yet-to-be-revealed roles. Peacock has since announced that other Season 2 guest stars also include Cynthia Erivo, B.J. Novak, Margo Martindale, Sherry Cola, Kevin Corrigan, Ben Marshall, Kathrine Narducci, John Mulaney, Ego Nwodim, and Sam Richardson as well as most recently-announced additions Awkwafina, Corey Hawkins, Simon Rex, and Cliff “Method Man” Smith.
Previous guests from the star-studded first season included Adrien Brody, Chloë Sevigny, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, Clea DuVall, Dascha Polanco, Hong Chau, Megan Suri, Danielle Macdonald, Nick Nolte, Luis Guzmán, Cherry Jones, Judith Light, Ellen Barkin, Tim Meadows, Jameela Jamil, and Charles Melton among others.
