It’s time to dive back into the world of small-town mysteries and big-character guest stars with Poker Face, the clever howcatchem series from Rian Johnson. Forget the whodunit format—this show flips the script by revealing the killer early on, focusing instead on the “how” of solving the crime. At the heart of it all is Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a casino worker with an uncanny ability to detect lies, who finds herself on the run and stumbling into one murder mystery after another.
More than two years after its 2022 debut, Poker Face returns for Season 2 on Peacock. With its signature blend of sharp writing, dark comedy, and standout performances, the new season continues the mystery-of-the-week format that fans love. As critic Samantha Nelson noted in her review of the first 10 episodes: “Driven by a magnetic performance from Natasha Lyonne, clever writing, and a laundry list of comedic guest stars, Season 2 of the howcatchem isn’t prestige TV, but it should definitely be on your watch list.”
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering the series, here’s everything you need to know about watching Poker Face Season 2.
