Season 1 of "Poker Face" premiered on Peacock in 2023, garnering four Emmy nominations and securing a historic win for guest star Judith Light, marking Peacock's first Emmy victory.
"Charlie Cale is back on the trail, and Season 2 propels her journey to new heights, one tantalizing murder mystery at a time," Johnson and Lyonne teased in a joint statement. "From the minor league baseball diamonds to the aisles of big-box retailers, from somber funeral homes to exotic alligator farms, and even a grade school talent show, Charlie embarks on her existential crime-solving road trip, armed with her deadpan humor, a heart full of empathy, and her signature, uncanny lie-detecting ability."
