The first trailer for Poker Face season 2 has arrived – and Charlie Cale is so back.
In the brief 30-second clip, which can be viewed above, we see Natasha Lyonne’s de facto detective team up with just a small sliver of this season’s guest stars, including Melanie Lynskey, Cynthia Erivo, John Mulaney, Giancarlo Esposito, Awkwafina, Justin Theroux, Katie Holmes, Method Man, and Taylor Schilling. The highly-anticipated second season is slated for a May 8 release exclusively on Peacock, with 12 episodes releasing weekly.
Per the official synopsis, “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” (H/T Variety).
The rest of the guest stars include John Cho, Patti Harrison, Corey Hawkins, Gaby Hoffmann, Carol Kane, David Krumholtz, Ben Marshall, Kumail Nanjiani, Katherine Narducci, B.J. Novak, Ego Nwodim, Haley Joel Osment, Simon Rex, Sam Richardson, Jason Ritter, Alia Shawkat, Natasha Leggero, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Adrienne C. Moore. Oh, and, there are still more to be announced.
The mystery-of-the-week series currently holds a 98% critics rating and an 81% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Tony Tost has taken over as showrunner for the new series (as Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are quite busy with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar).
