‘Compelling’ thriller lands 100% Rotten Tomatoes score after wait for season 2

  • Natasha Lyonne stars as Charlie Cale, a lie-detecting casino employee on the Peacock murder-mystery series Poker Face, which returned for Season 2 on May 8, 2025.
  • Rian Johnson created Poker Face following his work on Knives Out and Glass Onion, as a character-driven show about losing nihilism and finding human connection.
  • The series follows Charlie as she solves murders across America while fleeing the mob after her best friend’s murder, driving a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda and encountering notable guest stars.
  • Lyonne describes Charlie as "a great lover of people" and notes it took 20 years for this role to materialize, reflecting her own journey through unconventional parts like Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black.
  • Season 2’s reception is mixed with praise for acting and nostalgia, though some critics find the formula repetitive and less adventurous than Season 1, suggesting a solid but unexceptional continuation.
