Synopsis of Poker Face

Poker Face is a mystery series created by Rian Johnson for the Peacock platform, with Natasha Lyonne as star and executive producer. Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, a casino worker with an uncommon ability to tell when someone is lying. After a suspicious death, the casino boss goes after her, and she decides to flee across the United States in a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda. Along the way she crosses paths with very different people, and in each episode a murder appears that she must solve using her gift. Each chapter follows the howcatchem format, an inverted detective story inspired by Columbo. Charlie works outside the law, so her way of investigating is as unique as the places where she stops.

Trivia about Poker Face

Johnson was inspired by the number of guest stars who passed through Columbo, and wanted each guest star to be the lead of their own episode, which allowed him to attract many performers.
Benjamin Bratt joined the project in April 2022 in a recurring role rather than a guest spot, which he himself described as "a countdown clock for the series."
Paramount Home Entertainment released the first season exclusively on Blu-ray on September 12, 2023.
In July 2024, Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann and Kumail Nanjiani joined the guest cast of the second season, among other names.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the first season earned a 98% approval rating based on 116 critic reviews.
John Mulaney plays an FBI agent who pursues Charlie during the second season, while Alia Shawkat plays a woman determined to uncover everything about her.
