‘Poker Face' Season 2 Guest Stars: From Katie Holmes To Simon Hellberg
Poker Face Season 2 has launched on Peacock, and the show returns with a new riveting roulette of guest stars, as it had in Season 1.
A look at the titles of each episode will hint at the themes found within as well as clues for Natasha Lyonne's Charlie Cale, who has an uncanny B.S. detector and a nose for sleuthing out the truth. Lyonne's main character is a staple between seasons, as she sometimes randomly and other times through personal ties gets pulled into these murder mysteries.

'High Potential' season 2: Everything we know so far
"High Potential" is officially coming back for season 2, and the next chapter in Morgan Gillory's unconventional crime-solving journey is already in the works. Production on the new season began in May 2025, and ABC has confirmed that the show is set to return this fall as part of its primetime lineup. The police procedural centers on Morgan (played by Kaitlin Olson), a single mother of three whose job cleaning the LAPD offices takes a sharp turn after her remarkable intellect earns her a spot consulting with the Major Crimes division. "High Potential's" mix of procedural drama and comedic quirkiness helped it break through and make it one of ABC's best freshman series in years. It averaged 11.5 million viewers across the network and streaming platforms like Hulu. Now, with season 2 on the horizon, fans can expect the story to pick up right where things left off. Here's everything we know about "High Potential" season 2 so far. "High Potential" season 2 doesn't have a specific release date yet. However, ABC has confirmed that it is set to return in fall 2025, when it will continue to air on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET. According to Entertainment Weekly, the second season could potentially be longer than the first, which consisted of 13 episodes. There have been no additional details provided on that front just yet, though. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "High Potential" revolves around Kaitlin Olson's Morgan Gillory, so the Emmy-nominated actress will absolutely be back for season 2. Olson brings the same quick wit and physical comedy that made her a standout on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Hacks," but this time in the role of a genius single mom turned LAPD consultant. She should be joined once again by the show's ensemble of characters: And while JD Pardo's character, Tom, left Los Angeles to go to nursing school at the end of season 1, it's possible he could return, especially if the writers decide to revisit his romance with Morgan. One newcomer set to play a major role in season 2 is David Giuntoli, who fans may recognize from "Grimm" and "A Million Little Things." He's expected to play a dangerous serial killer who taunts Morgan, setting the stage for a bit of a cat-and-mouse arc. There are a few elements in play for season 2 of "High Potential", though there's no clear-cut summary for what's coming up just yet. Showrunner Rob Harthan has offered some commentary as far as what's in the works for the series, including some hints toward a more complex "big bad" that might surface in the new season. "I love a good serialized villain," he told The Wrap. Season 1 ended with a couple of big cliffhangers, including the reveal that Morgan's ex-husband, Roman, is definitely alive. With that in mind, Harthan doesn't want to leave audiences hanging too long. The plan for season 2 is to get into that mystery right away, while also weaving in an entirely new threat: a serial killer who seems to have taken an interest in Morgan. That includes diving deeper into Morgan's backstory, her complicated co-parenting relationship with Ludo and Roman's potential reappearance. "I think the audience has a real appetite to find out what really happened [between them]," Harthan said in an interview with TVLine. 'What was it like the day they sat down and had a conversation about what wasn't working? How did they decide how they should co-parent? What caused that? So now it's our job to come up with a story." Giving the second season additional episodes to breathe can go a long way toward establishing those storylines and much more, and it's something that even star Katilyn Olson is "excited" about, in addition to the ability to "explore the relationships between characters more." "A first season, you really have to give the main character most of the heavy lifting, because that's the person that you're interested in," she told EW. "I know that people are excited to dig into all of our other wonderful actors and their characters' background, so I think that that'll be really fun to do."

Why Peacock Delayed the 'Love Island USA' Premiere
Love Island USA premiered last night and to its own party. The show was supposed to air at 9:00 pm eastern time, but hadn't started as of 9:01 when Peacock tweeted "WE GOT A TEXT! Tonight's episode will be slightly delayed. But it is worth the wait Stay tuned! #LoveIslandUSA." Love Island didn't end up premiering for 40 full minutes, and if you're wondering why, there's (unconfirmed!) speculation that Peacock suffered a technical glitch due to fans in Canada reporting that the show premiered as planned on CTV. And obviously, the internet didn't take it well: A lot to process here. As a reminder, this year's cast includes (so far!) Huda Mustafa, Olandria Carthen, Belle-A Walker, Yulissa Escobar, Chelley Bissainthe, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, Taylor Williams, Austin Shepard, Ace Green, and Jeremiah Brown. Oh, and of course Ariana Madix is hosting, while Iain Stirling is narrating. Per Peacock's official description: "Season 7 will introduce a brand new roster of singles, new additions to the vibrant Fiji villa, and the return of the infamous Casa Amor. Temptations will rise and drama will ensue as Islanders face brand new couples' challenges, jaw-dropping twists and turns, and even a few surprise guests. Once again, viewers will be able to vote for their favorite couples via the Love Island USA app to determine which Islanders will recouple, who will remain in the villa, and who goes home heartbroken."
