POKER FACE Season 2 Teaser Features Melanie Lynskey, Cynthia Erivo, and More Nerdy Guest Stars
In 2023, Poker Face hit Peacock with ten wild episodes of chaotic goodness. The comedy drama series puts Natasha Lyonne's Charlie Cale, a casino waitress who goes on the run from a mob boss and ends up solving crimes, thanks to her uncanny ability to detect when someone is lying. The series takes on mysteries Columbo-style and it is a ton of fun. Now, Poker Face season two is coming and we finally have a teaser trailer that stars some of our fave nerdy actors.
We see Charlie is still up to her investigative shenanigans despite being on the run to avoid Beatrix Hasp. Poker Face season two's teaser trailer includes Yellowjackets star Melanie Lynskey, The Boys' Giancarlo Esposito, Kumail Nanjiani of MCU fame, and Wicked's Cynthia Erivo, among many others.
Showrunner Rian Johnson (you may have heard of him) and Lyonne gave this insightful tidbit to all fans, which teases some of the cases this season and confirms that there will be 12 episodes of wild fun:
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.
To bring Season 2 to life, we pulled visual inspiration from American 70s cinema, all the stuff we love like Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich. But the backbone of this show is TV – the kind of TV we grew up watching, episodic case of the week gems like Columbo and The Rockford Files and Quantum Leap. Each episode is a mini movie, existing in its own world with a unique tone and vibe, featuring an eccentric lot of characters played by a truly gonzo parade of guest stars. We still can't believe we got to work with rockstars like Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, John Mulaney, and Awkwafina (and many many more, the list is kinda dizzying) who all dove into the game with joy and came ready to play.
Twelve killer new episodes are coming your way. Buckle up and see you on the road!

Coco Gauff gets French Open moment with Spike Lee hug after giving him ‘something to cheer for' after Knicks loss
No Knicks in the NBA Finals meant Spike Lee flew to Paris for a different American sports victory. The Academy Award-winning American filmmaker was in attendance for Coco Gauff's first Roland Garros title on Saturday morning, witnessing the 21-year-old take down world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4. Dressed in all white with a Yankees hat and sunglasses, Lee, with the occasional seat twitching during the competitive, two-hour and 38-minute match, stood up and cheered on Gauff to her second Grand Slam win. Gauff, 21, eventually fell to the ground as tears rolled down her face in victory, and before going up to her family and coaches' box to greet them, she stopped to see Lee. The young American greeted Lee, giving him a hug and several high-fives before Gauff moved along with the French Open festivities. 5 Spike Lee and Coco Gauff during the Roland Garros 2025 tournament on June 7, 2025 in Paris, France. Zabulon Laurent/ABACA/Shutterstock 5 Spike Lee and Coco Gauff hug after she won the French Open on Saturday — her first major win in Paris. Zabulon Laurent/ABACA/Shutterstock Coco Gauff celebrated with Spike Lee after winning Roland-Garros 🤝🇺🇸#RolandGarros — TNT Sports (@tntsports) June 7, 2025 5 Spike Lee is seen on Day Fourteen of the French Open at Roland Garros on June 7, 2025 in Paris, France. WireImage Gauff, despite being a Georgia native, understood how much the Knicks-Pacers series meant to Lee. During the post-match press conference, she said she planned on saying something if she ended up winning the match. 'And when I saw him on the court, I was like 'If I win this match, the first person I'm gonna dab up is Spike Lee,' she said. 'So, once I won the match, I went to the ground and everything, I went straight to Spike Lee. I wanted to tell him, 'I had to do it. You know, even if the Knicks didn't win, I'm glad I gave him something to cheer for.' So, yeah, that was pretty cool. I haven't seen the video yet, but I'm excited to see it.' 5 Coco Gauff of United States greets Spike Lee after her victory over Aryna Sabalenka during the Women's Singles Final match. Getty Images 5 Coco Gauff and Spike Lee high-five at the French Open. Zabulon Laurent/ABACA/Shutterstock Although Lee is a frequent visitor to the U.S. Open — the last major of the season held in Flushing, Queens — Gauff admitted that the brief interaction was her first official meeting with him. 'That was the first time I really met him up close,' she said. 'I've seen him at my matches at the U.S. Open, and when I saw him on the court today, I saw him when I was warming up. They panned the camera to him in the gym when I was warming up and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, Spike Lee is here.' And then I kinda felt bad because I usually put my towel in that spot, which is why I feel like he sat there. But because you know the lower-ranked player gets the other box, I put my towel in the other box.' With the victory, Gauff became the first American woman in a decade to win the French Open, since Serena Williams did so in 2015. She is also the youngest American to win the women's singles title since 2002, when Williams — at 20 years old — won the first of her three career titles in Paris.
