“Poker Face” is a modern whodunnit series in the same vein of “Murder She Wrote” and “Columbo” and hails from producer Rian Johnson (“Knives Out”) and showrunner Tony Tost, as Natasha Lyonne (“Russian Doll”) plays the extremely charming Charlie, a wise-cracking human lie detector who is traveling across the United States inadvertedly getting caught up in various murder cases.
Peacock has sent us a new trailer for the acclaimed show to share as the star-studded second season is gearing up with an exclusive debut on May 8.

Lyonne herself alone as Charlie is compelling as it gets but the massive guest and supporting cast is just as impressive as it features the likes of Adrienne C. Moore, Alia Shawkat, Awkwafina, Ben Marshall, B.J. Novak, Carol Kane, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Corey Hawkins, Cynthia Erivo, David Alan Grier, David Krumholtz, Davionte “GaTa” Ganter, Ego Nwodim, Gaby Hoffmann, Geraldine Viswanathan, Giancarlo Esposito, Haley Joel Osment, Jason Ritter, John Cho, John Mulaney, Justin Theroux, Kathrine Narducci, Katie Holmes, Kevin Corrigan, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Tom, Lili Taylor, Margo Martindale, Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Leggero, Patti Harrison, Rhea Perlman, Richard Kind, Sam Richardson, Sherry Cola, Simon Helberg, Simon Rex, and Taylor Schilling.
The synopsis for the upcoming second season provided by Peacock reads:
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.
