All the way back in February 2023, we got the good news that Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne was renewed for a second season. However it's been very delayed due to the actors and writers strikes that happened that year. Which meant the wait between seasons has been longer than anticipated. Thankfully now, we have lots of updates about Poker Face season 2, including the release date!
Created by Rian Johnson, the series became an instant hit when it premiered on Peacock. That has to do with the great stortelling, Lyonne's superb acting, and also the great number of guest stars we could expect to see with each new episode. Since it's been a while and there's been multiple updates, we've rounded them all for you here. Here's 3 updates you might have missed on Poker Face season 2.
Poker Face season 2 is coming in May
As we previously reported, the crime comedy-drama meets murder mystery series' second season had been confirmed for spring 2025 after such a long wait! The season 1 finale was released all the way back in March 2023, more than two years ago now. Thankfully, we don't have to wait for the date to mark our calendars down anymore!
Poker Face season 2 premieres Thursday, May 8, 2025 with the first three episodes on Peacock. After that, one new episode will be released each week until the finale on July 10. So the show is going to be with us for a while! Another set of good news is that this season is an extra two episodes long compared to the first, coming in at 12 episodes. Yay!
Peacock releases first-look teaser
Along with the release date news, Peacock has also shared the first-look teaser video of what we can expect in Poker Face season 2. As we know, the show is all about Charlie Cale who has the ability to know when someone is lying. This helps her out as she travels on the road in her now iconic Plymouth Barracuda to solve murder mysteries after going on the run herself.
Episodes feature a new set of characters and cast members, as well as a new crime to solve. This format doesn't always work for shows, but it definitely does for this one. Check out the video below!
A star-studded cast list and new images
As you saw in the teaser, there's many big names who are going to be guest stars on the second season. And that definitely has us pumped even more for what's to come. Some of the biggest ones include Wicked star Cynthia Eriva, Giancarlo Esposito, and Yellowjackets actress Melanie Lynskey and her husband Jason Ritte. It's unclear if they will be in the same episode or different ones at this time.
There's also Kumal Nanjiani, Katie Holmes, and so many more. Simon Helberg reprises his role from season 1 as Luca Clark. We shared the full guest cast list below, which comes in at almost 40 stars.
