Poker Face season 2 has been confirmed, with Peacock announcing the renewal shortly after the season 1 finale. Peacock hooked audiences on Poker Face by releasing four episodes in January 2023, with one more episode available each week leading up to its finale. After just six episodes of its 10-episode first season, the continuation of the show was confirmed, and then it went on to finish off its standout debut season.

Poker Face Season 2 Cast
Natasha Lyonne Returns As Charlie Cale
With the wonderful lead performance and the exciting guest stars in each episode, the Poker Face cast will be one of the most intriguing aspects of the show’s return. While Natasha Lyonne as Charlie is confirmed for Poker Face season 2, any other potential additions remain up in the air. Poker Face’s story structure leads to very few series regulars, as Charlie pops in and out of the lives of a variety of characters. Rhea Perlman will also likely return as Beatrix Hasp, following season 1’s finale.
Considering the rate of at least one death per episode, Poker Face will likely dip into Johnson and Lyonne’s connections throughout Hollywood to generate a season’s worth of guest stars. Poker Face fans have season 2 casting favorites, whether the actors play a murderer or a character who meets their end by accidentally crossing Charlie’s string of bad luck. Johnson could also dip into the ensemble casts of Knives Out or Glass Onion, as he has already said he wants Jamie Lee Curtis to appear in Poker Face season 2.
Poker Face Season 2 Story Details
What Will Happen When Charlie Returns?
The Poker Face season 2 story is sure to focus on Beatrix Hasp (Rhea Perlman) and her pursuit of Charlie. Having escaped Cliff LeGrand (Benjamin Bratt), who is headed to jail after murdering Sterling Frost Sr. (Ron Perlman), Charlie effectively has a clean slate. However, Hasp’s call gives Charlie the choice of working for her or dying. With Charlie smashing her phone and setting off in her 1969 Plymouth Barracuda, Poker Face season 2 should pick up from there.
Where Charlie runs to next is unclear, though her connection with Luka Clark in season 1 seems like it should come in handy while on the run once again, and the introduction of her sister Emily opens up another avenue for further exploration. Episodes are sure to keep following the Murder She Wrote and Columbo pattern that made Poker Face such a success, leaving plenty of options available for the show’s writing staff, led by Johnson.
