What happens

Poker Face is an American crime comedy-drama television series created by Rian Johnson for the streaming service Peacock. Stylized as a "case-of-the-week" murder mystery series, it stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman with the innate ability to detect when people are lying, who finds herself solving murders as she travels across the United States. Peacock announced the series in March 2021, with Lyonne attached and Johnson as director. Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman were named as co-showrunners. The first season of Poker Face consisted of 10 episodes and debuted on January 26, 2023. In February 2023, the series was renewed for a second season which premiered on May 8, 2025. The series has received critical acclaim. Lyonne was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. In November 2025, the series was canceled after two seasons. Johnson is currently pitching the show to other networks in hopes of getting a two-season agreement to continue the series from them. While Lyonne will no longer be playing Cale, there are plans for Peter Dinklage to take over the role. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
