Three weeks after Poker Face’s premiere, Peacock gave the show a season two greenlight. However, neither the show’s new cast nor its start date has been revealed. Poker Face, developed by Knives Out and Glass Onion writer and director Rian Johnson, allowed Natasha Lyonne the chance to interact with different actors and stories while also receiving high accolades for its mystery of the week format. Lyonne’s character, criminal profiler Charlie Cale, was left on the run for an entirely different reason as the first season of the crime drama came to a close, setting up a second season. What follows is a complete guide to Season 2 of Poker Face.
Poker Face Season 2 Renewal Status
Peacock captivated viewers with the premiere of the first four episodes of Poker Face in January 2023 and continued to do so with the release of a new episode every week until the series finale. Poker Face got renewed for a second season after only six episodes of its 10-episode first season and a hint from a Peacock executive about the show’s second season.
A second season of Poker Face, one of Peacock’s best shows, appeared certain as long as Johnson and Lyonne were on board. Johnson made it obvious that he and his partner are eager for more than a second season to continue their work. Telling THR, he and Natasha regularly discuss the prospect of “getting old doing this.” I picture her doing a Jessica Fletcher impression. I’d be overjoyed. There must be some sort of motor in here for this to keep moving.
Poker Face Season 2 Release Date
While a premiere date for Season 2 of Poker Face has not been set, the show was renewed ahead of schedule so that production could begin as soon as feasible.
Until till notice, all we can do is thought as to when we might see Poker Face again. We can only speculate, but we’d put the release of season two in the spring or summer of 2024.

Poker Face Season 2 Plotline
The season 1 finale of Poker Face reveals that the second season would center on Beatrix Hasp’s (Rhea Perlman) pursuit of Charlie. Now that Charlie has evaded Cliff LeGrand (Benjamin Bratt), who is on his way to prison for murdering Sterling Frost Sr. (Ron Perlman), he can start again with a fresh slate. But the phone call from Hasp forces Charlie to choose between working for her and dying. Poker Face season 2 should pick up after Charlie destroys her phone and drives off in her 1969 Plymouth Barracuda.
Charlie’s next move while on the run is a mystery, though her past relationship with Luka Clark in the first season should serve her well. Additionally, the introduction of Charlie’s sister Emily in the tenth episode of the first season of Poker Face, “The Hook,” provides a new potential direction for the show.
Poker Face Season 2 Trailer
There is currently no new Poker Face footage available, but rest assured that we will be the first to let you know when it does become available, which is expected to be sometime in 2024. I assure you.
Poker Face Season 1 Review
The “who-dun-it” genre is given fresh life by Peacock’s “Poker Face,” a lively new sitcom about a human polygraph that premiered on January 26. This comic drama was written and directed by Rian Johnson, who also helmed the critically acclaimed mystery films “Knives Out” and “Glass Onion.” There’s a new plot and cast of characters and motivations in each installment. This makes every episode more exciting than the last as we see Charlie Cane (played by the legendary Natasha Lyonne) navigate a maze of perilous situations.
Poker Face’s dated format is one of the film’s most intriguing aspects. Each episode opens with a murder that is shocking and often graphic, but not necessarily violent. The program then jumps to the middle, where Charlie is brought into the situation, generally through some eerie link to the victims.
The show’s success lies in the character-driven storylines it tells. Throughout the series, the good guys always seem to get the boot while the bad guys, who are constantly motivated by greed, manage to succeed. Charlie is the cosmic judge who ties up loose ends and ensures that everyone gets what they deserve.
