Laughlin, Nevada casino waitress Charlie Cale, a woman with the ability to tell if someone is lying, observes her maid friend Natalie Hill's abusive husband Jerry be ejected by head of security Cliff LeGrand. Manager Sterling Frost Jr. asks Charlie to help him scam client Kazimir Caine. Natalie discovers child pornography on Caine's computer. When she reports it to Frost, he deletes the evidence off her phone and has Cliff kill her and Jerry, staging it as a murder-suicide by using Jerry's gun. Charlie notices that Jerry's gun was in his right hand in a crime scene photo, contradicting where his ankle holster was. Charlie steals Natalie's tablet, finds the deleted evidence in the tablet's trash and presents it to Frost, believing Caine was responsible for Natalie's murder. She realizes Cliff kept Jerry's gun when she sees footage of the metal detector not going off as Jerry was removed. She reveals to Frost that she recorded him setting up the scam poker game and sent it to Caine, irreparably damaging the casino's reputation. Frost commits suicide and Frost Sr. later calls Charlie, promising to kill her.

He takes the lottery ticket and hides the body in passing trucker Marge's vehicle. She discovers it and tries to get rid of it, and Jed calls the police to frame her. Charlie's car is fixed, but Marge is blamed for Damian's murder and Jed claims the ticket as his own. After he lies about Damian never winning the lottery, Charlie reviews the body shop's security footage and notices it skips an hour. When she points out that the ticket's serial number does not match the time Jed claims to have bought it, he admits to the murder but has discovered that she is a person of interest and threatens to report her if she calls the police. As she leaves, a hidden camera radio show leads her to realize that a trucker she sat next to during Damian's murder would have caught the crime on his dash cam, asking his friends to turn the footage in to the police.

Unable to afford buying him out, Taffy pre-records a segment for his radio show and pretends to air it live while he seals George in his trailer and suffocates him with grill smoke, beating the dog when it attacks him as he leaves. Charlie finds the dog as she leaves town, realizing that the wood it was beaten with is the same wood that created the smoke that killed George and was only used by him. After confirming Taffy had time to kill George during the broadcast, she brings her findings to Mandy, George's wife, and realizes she is in on it.

Production

Promotional posters for season 1 (left), and season 2 (right).

Development

[edit]

The project was announced in March 2021, with Rian Johnson serving as creator, writer, director and executive producer. Johnson stated that the series would delve into "the type of fun, character driven, case-of-the-week mystery goodness I grew up watching."[3] The series was inspired by Columbo, being referred as a "howcatchem". Johnson also used Magnum, P.I., The Rockford Files, Quantum Leap, Highway to Heaven and The Incredible Hulk as influences for the tone of the series.[26][27] Johnson was interested in "doing that Columbo or even Quantum Leap thing of having every episode be an anthropological deep dive into a little corner of America that you might not otherwise see."[28] On February 15, 2023, Peacock renewed the series for a second season.[6]

Casting

[edit]

The announcement of the series included that Natasha Lyonne would serve as the main lead actress.[3] She was approached by Johnson about working on a procedural project together, with Lyonne as the lead character.[28] As Johnson explained, the role was "completely cut to measure for her."[27] While the series and lead character would share things in common with Columbo, the writers sought to differentiate the lead character by having her work outside of the law.[28]

Due to the series' procedural aspects, the episodes feature several guest stars. Johnson was inspired by the number of actors who guest starred on Columbo, wanting to deem each guest star as the star of the episode, which allowed them to attract many actors.[27]

In April 2022, Benjamin Bratt joined the series.[11] Instead of a guest role, his character would recur as Cliff, the head of security at a casino where Charlie works.[29] When she escapes the casino, his character would go after her, which Bratt called "a ticking clock for the show".[30]

In July 2024, Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, Kumail Nanjiani, Kathrine Narducci, Ben Marshall, Kevin Corrigan, and Sherry Cola were cast in guest roles for the second season.[31][32] Cynthia Erivo, Margo Martindale, and B. J. Novak also joined the guest cast in September.[33] In October, John Mulaney, Ego Nwodim, and Sam Richardson were cast in guest roles for the second season.[34]

Filming

[edit]

According to the director of the Hudson Valley Film Commission, filming was based in Newburgh, New York, and ran from April through October 2022, in locations throughout the mid-Hudson Valley.[35] At least one episode of the series was filmed in late August 2022 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[36] Outdoor scenes were filmed in Laughlin, Nevada, in September 2022, with the Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino depicting the fictional Frost Casino.[37]

Filming for the second season started on July 1, 2024,[38] and wrapped in late December 2024.[39] Filming locations included Clover Stadium in Pomona, New York.[40]

Release

[edit]

Poker Face premiered on January 26, 2023, on Peacock, with the first four episodes available immediately and the rest debuting on a weekly basis.[5] The second season premiered on May 8, 2025, with the first three episodes available immediately and the rest debuting on a weekly basis.[7]

International sales are handled by Paramount Global Content Distribution.[41] The series is available on Stan in Australia[42] and on Citytv+ and Citytv in Canada.[43] It began streaming on CBC Gem in Canada in February 2024.[44] The series debuted in Asia via Rock Entertainment on May 24, 2023.[45] The series then debuted in the United Kingdom on Sky Max on May 26, 2023.[46]

Paramount also handled home media distribution for the series, with Paramount Home Entertainment releasing the first season exclusively on Blu-ray on September 12, 2023.[47] The first season debuted on USA Network on March 9, 2025.[21]

Season 1

[edit]
Natasha Lyonne garnered acclaim for her performance.

Poker Face was met with critical acclaim upon release. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 98% approval rating for the first season, with an average rating of 8.4/10, based on 114 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "With the incomparable Natasha Lyonne as an ace up its sleeve, Poker Face is a puzzle box of modest ambitions working with a full deck."[48] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 84 out of 100 based on 44 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[49]

Chicago Sun-Times's Richard Roeper gave a rating of 3.5 out of 4 stars and said, "The beauty part is watching the amazing Natasha Lyonne's Charlie puzzle out the crime in clever and often hilarious fashion."[52] Peter Travers of ABC News felt Lyonne landed "the role of her career" in Charlie Cale and called Poker Face "the best joyride of the 2023 TV season."[53] Linda Holmes of NPR felt Lyonne's "unforgettable" performance proved herself to be the "Peter Falk of her generation".[54] Ben Travers of IndieWire gave the series a B and stated "All this star power is enough to guarantee Poker Face will be, at least, an enjoyable diversion. But... it's hard to shake the feeling that Poker Face isn't as good as it could've been."[55] The Atlantic's Sophie Gilbert believed the show succeeded in its first episodes "by attending to the emotional cadences of overlooked people and places" but criticized the characters of later episodes for falling into tropes.[56]

Season 2

[edit]

The second season also received critical acclaim. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 96% approval rating based on 60 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus states, "Instead of reshuffling its winning formula, Poker Face's second season doubles down on the winning virtues of its predecessor and scores a jackpot."[50] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 79 out of 100 based on 24 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[51]

Empire's David Opie awarded the second season with four out of five stars, stating, "The case-of-the-week format remains in place, mostly unchanged, but the serialised story that holds it together becomes more introspective and even existential, proving that the team's ambition isn't just limited to casting TV's most enviable guest list. If the impressive highs of Season 2 are anything to go by, Poker Face could easily go on for ten more seasons and just get better each time. (No lies detected.)"[57] Consequence's Liz Shannon Miller wrote, "It’s all so thoughtfully written and executed, at times to the point of devastation, though Charlie remains the show’s emotional anchor, keeping the audience from drifting into despair. So much of this show works simply because we just like Charlie — and can see why other people like and trust her in a relatively short amount of time."[58]
