Season 2 of Poker Face is already three episodes in, and the Natasha Lyonne-led series is off to a great start.
The Peacock drama nailed it during Season 1. If the rest of Season 2 is anything like the first few episodes, we’d better buckle up because we’re in for a wild ride.
Like the first season, the new episodes feature Charlie Cole’s unusual brand of mystery solving.
And the cast is just as star-studded as before, with appearances by Cynthia Erivo, who played multiple characters in the Season 2 premiere.
Episode 2 featured Giancarlo Esposito as a suspicious funeral home owner. Katie Holmes, who makes rare television appearances, plays his wife.
Bronx-native Kevin Corrigan also made an appearance, rounding out a star-studded cast in arguably the best episode thus far. I mean, how could you not love an episode featuring the icon behind Breaking Bad’s Gus Fring?
The latest episode to air turned up the heat even more, bringing back Rhea Perlman along with Simon Helberg, John Mulaney, Richard Kind, and Chris Bauer for a fast-paced hostage situation that sees Charlie in danger.
How does Poker Face cast so many famous faces?
There are so many famous faces that it’s hard to even keep track and we’re only on Episode 3!
It’s easy to see why so many household names would want to be a part of this fascinating show. For starters, the format is perfect for a busy actor as they are only obligated to show up to shoot one episode. And despite their short time on set, it’s a sure bet that the performance will be memorable
While the series has a continuing story each week as it follows Charlie, who has an incredible ability to sniff out who is telling the truth and who is lying,
Each episode can also stand on its own as the mystery of the week format presents a new crime to be solved in each episode and neatly wraps it up in under an hour, making this both an easy weekly series to tune in to watch and an addicting binge for those who don’t stay caught up.
Natasha Lyonne’s character brings a quirky modern twist to classic whodunnits like Murder She Wrote, Matlock and Columbo.
All the details — when and where to tune in
We’re already three episodes deep into Season 2 of Poker Face, but there are still nine more to go in this 12-episode season.
To stay on top of the drama, check out new episodes as soon as they are available on Peacock — Thursdays at 3:01 am ET.
So far, there has been no renewal for Season 3 on Peacock, but given the series’ popularity, we’re betting that Poker Face will be back.
