Season 1 of “Poker Face” premiered on Peacock in 2023 and earned four Emmy nominations, including one win (Peacock’s first!) for guest star Judith Light.
“Charlie Cale is back on the run, and in Season 2 we’ve taken her journey to the next level one murder mystery at a time,” Johnson and Lyonne wrote in a joint statement teasing the new season. “From minor league baseball to big box retail, from funeral homes to alligator farms and even a grade school talent show, Charlie navigates her crime solving existential road-trip with deadpan wit, human empathy, and her signature uncanny lie-detecting ability.”
