Has Poker Face been renewed for Season 3? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled? Poker Face is the latest comedic drama on Peacock, with an energetic cast, an inspired Natasha Lyonne in the driver's seat and a simple but effective premise. Having watched the first two seasons in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more! What is Poker Face about? Charlie Cale is on the run. She stays on the move from town to town, out of sight of the casino bosses looking for her. Oh and also, Charlie knows when people are lying. A handy skill which comes into use as she stumbles across mysterious cases on the road. Poker Face is a mystery comedy-drama following the case-of-the-week format, created by Rian Johnson. So if you liked Knives Out and Glass Onion, this show will definitely tickle your itch for a good murder mystery. We have ongoing coverage of Poker Face on the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find those HERE! Has Poker Face been renewed for Season 2? At the time of writing, Poker Face has not been renewed for season 3. Generally Peacock would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Poker Face has had a pretty good reaction online from critics and audiences alike. Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a third season. The series has potential no doubt, and given its enduring popularity, it seems like it's only going to be a matter of time but we'll have to wait and see. However, we could be completely wrong too, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about Poker Face season 3 at this point given Peacock haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the season's conclusion, it seems likely that we could be seeing more of our characters though. Should this get the nod, we'd expect another 12 episode season and a return of the same cast and crew too. We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future. Would you like to see Poker Face return for a third season?

Poker Face – Season 2 Episode 2 'Last Looks' Recap & Review
Episode 2 The Murder Episode 2 of Poker Face Season 2 begins with a film shoot taking place in a funeral home. The shoot involves a man killing a woman while a younger woman takes pictures of the scene. The funeral home belongs to Fred who complains to his wife, Greta about the whole thing. When Fred realises that Greta didn't inform one of their clients, the Hoppenstammers, about a change in the schedule for their grandmother's funeral, they get into an argument. He argues with Greta and she suddenly says she wants a divorce. She feels trapped and wants to take up one of the film crew on a job offer in Miami, doing makeup. That night, after the film crew is gone, Greta comes back drunk from a party. While she is in the shower, Fred moves her bags downstairs to the shoot area. When she comes out, Fred kills her the same way the woman is killed in the film. He uses the same weapon used in the shoot and her blood splatters the same way as well. He cremates her body and bags in his incinerator and then puts her ashes in the urn used by the film crew. Although, he keeps a bit and infuses it with a record of the song Sleep Walk. In the morning, the film crew takes all their things away and Fred listens to the record on his own. The Investigation We then shift to Charlie Cale, who says it's been three months since she heard anything from Beatrix Hasp or the Five Families. She's also switched from smoking to vaping. A man approaches her when she goes to a store and asks to rent her car for a period film being shot in 1973. Charlie also gets roped into playing the corpse in the scene. She meets Greta, who talks about how she did cosmetology and she had big dreams till her parents passed away. They were cremated, which is how she met and fell in love with Fred. She was only 25. Later, Charlie meets Fred who tells her about keepsakes for the dead, where one's remains can be put in objects like stained glass or pen ink. Fred shows her how he can even do it with a vinyl record. Later that night, Greta goes out with Charlie and the other girls. She complains about Fred and how he's already chosen the records for their remains. Hers is a song called Sleep Walk that she doesn't even like. Charlie drops her home and promises to come pick her up so they can go to Miami together. In the morning, Charlie looks for Greta. Fred shows her Greta's texts where she says she's leaving and tells Charlie she left with the film crew. As she leaves, she notices him dancing to a record playing Sleep Walk. The Hoppenstammers' funeral takes place. Meanwhile, Charlie uses the call sheet to reach out to the film crew but none of them have seen Greta. Which is odd because Charlie could tell Fred was saying the truth when he said she left with the film crew. Tommy, the guy who hired Charlie, goes back with her to investigate the funeral home. She spots a speck of blood on a lightbulb and that's when Fred catches her snooping. Charlie puts the clues together and accuses Fred of killing her. But Tommy then gets a text from Greta with an image of her at a beach. She says she's in Miami. Charlie admits to messing up and apologises. She's about to leave when she hears a phone ringing and finds Greta's phone in Fred's desk. She sees the texts and the beach photo, which is an image from 2022. Before she can do anything, Fred chloroforms her. Charlie wakes up inside a coffin. Fred is about to send her inside the incinerator but she pushes it hard enough for the coffin to fall off the conveyor belt and break. Fred is about to attack her but she throws her vape into the incinerator which makes it explode. She tries to pull Fred to safety but he doesn't want to leave his burning house. He'd rather burn with it. Charlie gets into her car where another surprise is waiting for her. Beatrix Hasp puts a gun to her head at the end of Poker Face Season 2 Episode 2. The Episode Review Season 2 Episode 2 is a solid follow-up. Once again, Poker Face manages to draw up real characters in a short span of time. We get a good picture of who these people are — Fred, with his obsession with his work and a house filled with the remains of his family in every knick-knack and showpiece. And Greta, with her need to get out of a marriage that makes her feel trapped. The show continues to offer complex and compelling characters and that's what really sells the whole thing. Of course, there is still a fair bit of whimsy here with details like the Hoppenstammers, who are a biker family. Additionally, it did feel a bit easy for Charlie to break herself out of the coffin like that. But things like this are easy to overlook when the rest of the episode is not just compelling but also incredibly fun. And that juicy cliffhanger is the cherry on top!
