After two long years, Charlie Cale - the one person in the world you don't want to try to lie to - is back in "Poker Face." Peacock just released a trailer for season 2 which, among other things, offers a look at the impressive and long list of talent making guest appearances as victims, killers, and everything in between in the new season. All the while, Heart's "Barracuda" plays in the background. You can watch the trailer below.

The Season 2 guests include Cynthia Erivo, Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, John Mulaney, Kumail Nanjiani, Rhea Pearlman, John Cho, Alia Shawkat, Justin Theroux, Simon Helberg, Taylor Schilling, Melanie Lynskey, Patti Harrison, Awkwafina, Cliff "Method Man" Smith, David Alan Grier, Simon Richardson, Simon Rex, Carol Kane, Richard Kind, Haley Joel Osment, Adrienne C. Moore, Gata, Margo Martindale, Jasmine Guy, Kevin Corrigan, and David Krumholtz.
"Poker Face" stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman with a special gift. She's no Sherlock Holmes. She simply can tell when someone, anyone, is lying, no matter how big or small the lie they're telling. Charlie travels across the country and winds up meeting all sorts of killers on her travels.
"Poker Face" isn't your usual mystery show. A kind of spiritual successor to "Columbo," "Poker Face" doesn't keep you guessing about who the killer is. The show unveils who killed who, usually before we even get a chance to see Charlie. The rest of the episode shows us Cale's journey in figuring out who the murderer is along with the whys and the hows of the matter.
Season 1 of "Poker Face" premiered in January 2023, receiving rave reviews for its quirky mysteries and its charismatic sleuth. It earned a stellar 98% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with an 81% score from audiences.
"Poker Face" is created by Rian Johnson, director of the "Knives Out" films. Fans of those movies may actually recall Lyonne appearing as herself briefly while zooming with Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc in 2022's "Glass Onion: a Knives Out Mystery."
Charlie Cale isn't Natasha Lyonne's only big role this year. She'll be appearing in this year's Marvel blockbuster "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" in an undisclosed role.
"Poker Face" Season 2 premieres on May 8 on Peacock.
