Natasha Lyonne's smash TV series is making a return. Poker Face season 2 is coming this spring, and we couldn't be happier – especially as a trailer for the new season has dropped.
The first series centred around Lyonne's character Charlie, who can detect when someone is lying and therefore drawn into a series of mysteries. Now the show is back, with a huge list of celebrity guest stars.
Natasha herself has released an exciting statement about Poker Face's return, confirming some seriously cool castings and hints at “American 70s cinema” inspirations.
“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. 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.
The TV series explores a shocking true story of what happened when a family adopted Natalia Grace, a young girl with dwarfism.
“To bring Season 2 to life, we pulled visual inspiration from American 70s cinema, all the stuff we love like Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich. But the backbone of this show is TV – the kind of TV we grew up watching, episodic case of the week gems like Columbo and The Rockford Files and Quantum Leap.
“Each episode is a mini movie, existing in its own world with a unique tone and vibe, featuring an eccentric lot of characters played by a truly gonzo parade of guest stars. We still can’t believe we got to work with rockstars like Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, John Mulaney and Awkwafina (and many many more, the list is kinda dizzying) who all dove into the game with joy and came ready to play.”
Here's everything we know so far about Poker Face season 2.
