‘Poker Face' Brings TV's Best Mystery Back for Season 2
OUR FAVORITE HUMAN lie detector is back. More than two years after Poker Face's 10-episode first season wrapped up, Rian Johnson's brilliant whydunnit mystery series is back for an even-larger but still star-studded 12-episode second season. Of course, our drifter extraordinare Charlie Cale (the always vibrant Natasha Lyonne) is once again the connective tissue between episodes, finding her way into one situation or another—and always using her impressive ability to parse out the truth to figure out why one sinister plot or another went the way it did.
And while season 2 is once again filled with brilliant guest stars—including Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, John Mulaney, Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, and more—it's always going to be the time spent hanging out with Lyonne's Charlie, and seeing how she's going to solve each increasingly-funny or strange mystery, that keeps viewers coming back.
"To me, the key to this kind of show is casting Natasha Lyonne," Johnson told Men's Health in an interview back in 2023. "Making the show with her. I think, ultimately, that's where the show places its chips, is the character of Charlie Cale, and having her be someone you're going to want to come back to every single week and see her win.
With Poker Face now in its supersized second season, we don't want to miss a single episode—and know you won't want to either. Below, you can see the complete release schedule for Poker Face season 2 on Peacock.

Emma Thompson Makes Honest Admission About Her Harry Potter Role
With a career that stretches back more than 40 years, everyone has a Dame Emma Thompson role they most associate her with. Many of us can't see her without getting a bit choked up thanks to her tear-jerking performance in the festive rom-com Love Actually, while for others, her signature role was in period dramas like Howard's End and Sense & Sensibility (both of which earned her Oscar wins, by the way). Then there are younger millennials who best remember her as Nanny McPhee, while more recently, she gave a chilling turn as the steely MP Vivienne Rook in Russell T Davies' dystopian Years And Years. And, of course, there are thousands around the globe to whom Dame Emma will always be best remembered for her performance as the eccentric and scatty divination professor Sybill Trelawney in the Harry Potter films. However, it seems that the woman herself doesn't quite hold that franchise as dear to her heart as some of her fans. During a recent Q&A at the Locarno film festival, Variety reported Dame Emma as saying of her stint in Harry Potter: 'I don't mean to be rude, but I came in, did the bit with glasses and hair, and left.' The two-time Oscar winner made her debut as Professor Trelawney in the third film, Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, reprising the role twice more in The Order Of The Phoenix and the final film, The Deathly Hallows, part two. Elsewhere in the conversation, Dame Emma also admitted she's surprised at the enduring appeal of Love Actually. 'I think [Dame Emma's character hit] a nerve because we, women, when we are experiencing heartbreak, sometimes we have to hide it,' she said. 'What moves you is not her crying, it's her covering it up, going downstairs and being cheerful.'

Lady Gaga's New Album Dances Back To The Charts
Lady Gaga dropped her new album Mayhem in early March and just a few months later kicked off The Mayhem Ball. The global trek sees the pop superstar traveling to countries across several continents and performing dozens of shows before wrapping in early 2026. As photos and videos of her high-octane performances make the rounds on social media after every new tour date, interest in Mayhem grows, and fans in the United Kingdom are getting excited for their chance to see the Grammy and Oscar winner before The Mayhem Ball hits London in September. Mayhem Returns to Multiple Charts The project reappears on multiple charts in that country, as Mayhem dances back onto two tallies in the U.K. this week. Gaga's latest full-length returns to the Official Physical Albums chart — which ranks only the top-selling titles available on CD, cassette, or vinyl — at No. 75. The same project also breaks onto the Official Album Sales chart at No. 79. Lady Gaga's Former No. 1 Mayhem has now spent the exact same length of time on both of those sales lists, as this frame is its twenty-first on the two rosters. In the past, when Mayhem was brand new, it hit No. 1, becoming a top seller in the U.K. Mayhem and The Fame Chart – But Don't Cross This week, Gaga sees two of her albums find space on the charts in the U.K., though there's no overlap between the pair. As Mayhem becomes a bestseller, The Fame, her debut full-length, appears on both the Official Albums and Official Album Streaming charts. On the former, which ranks the most consumed titles, her decade-plus-old set jumps to No. 56, while simultaneously declining slightly on the streaming-only tally. 'Die With a Smile' Represents Mayhem on the Charts Mayhem may be a hit on the charts once again, but only one single from the project is still going strong, and it's the oldest of the bunch. 'Die With a Smile,' her collaboration with Bruno Mars, lifts on four rosters at once. In just a few days, it will reach 52 weeks — a full year — on both streaming and sales rankings. An even older tune, 'Always Remember Us This Way,' is also growing. That solo track, taken from her A Star Is Born soundtrack album, rises on the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts, coming in at No. 61 and No. 59, respectively.

Halle Berry's Ex David Justice Reveals Reason for Their Breakup
Everyone has a right to tell their story, but when that story involves a trail-blazing, Oscar winning actor, you might want to think twice about what, exactly, you're saying. This is a lesson currently being learned by Halle Berry's ex husband, David Justice. David, a former MLB player for the Atlanta Braves, was married to Halle from 1993 to 1997, and, for reasons unknown, decided that last week—30 years later—was the time to speak out about why their marriage ended. 'I was young, and had only been in one real relationship before her, my knowledge and my understanding, my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast,' he said during an appearance on the All the Smoke podcast. 'I'm looking at my mom, and I'm a Midwest guy,' he continued. 'So in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, you know, and then I'm thinking, 'Okay, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?' And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem motherly—and then we start having issues.' Taken in context, David's comments aren't so bad. In fact, it's commendable that he's able to look back 30 years later and admit that he wasn't mature enough to understand that he had a narrow understanding of what a wife and mother would look and act like. Unfortunately for David, the only part of his interview that went viral was the part about wanting a wife to cook and clean. And fans reacted accordingly, with outrage and a good dose of ridicule. Were David's expectations for his wife in the '90s reasonable? No. But he also admits in the interview to being immature and having a limited understanding of what it takes to be in a lasting relationship. Yes, he did go on to shade Halle for how she acted after their split—a contentious divorce during which he claims she badmouthed him publicly—but he ended this segment of the interview saying that he understands why Halle reacted to their split the way she did. He even took responsibility for ending the relationship abruptly, admitting that he stopped talking to her completely after the initial breakup. 'I just wasn't emotionally mature at that age to really, truly understand the magnitude of how she was really feeling. And I would have done things different back then,' he said. Given the backlash to his viral comments, I'm guessing he probably wishes he would have done this interview a little differently, too.
