Will ‘Poker Face’ Return for Season 3? Rian Johnson Plans Show’s Future Without Peacock
Peacock cited high costs and declining ratings despite acclaim; creators seek new home with Peter Dinklage leading and a planned two-season renewal.
- 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.
