Will ‘Poker Face’ Return for Season 3? Rian Johnson Plans Show’s Future Without Peacock

Peacock decided not to renew Poker Face after two seasons, and the creators began shopping it last night with Peter Dinklage attached to lead a two-season order.
Season Two data shows the show remained popular but with softer ratings versus its launch, and Poker Face's high costs and outside-studio production factored into Peacock's evaluation.
Rian Johnson plans to recast the lead every two seasons as a deliberate model, with Natasha Lyonne exiting the role but remaining executive producer while Johnson, Ram Bergman, T-Street and MRC advance the project.
Johnson and MRC are actively pitching the series to other outlets while representation by CAA coordinates the search, with showrunner status unsettled and Tony Tost's return unconfirmed.
Peacock's loss of one of its top-performing originals opens space for a strategic franchise reboot elsewhere, with Rian Johnson's Knives Out film series style and guest stars positioning Poker Face for perennial success.
