Poker Face Season 2 Adds Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, and Kumail Nanjiani

As a hardcore gamer and avid fan of mystery shows, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming season of Peacock’s “Poker Face”! With the recent announcement of big names like Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, and Kumail Nanjiani joining the cast, I’m already imagining the twists and turns their characters will bring to the table.


The ensemble of “Poker Face,” Peacock’s acclaimed mystery show, has grown even more impressive with the addition of several well-known actors for its upcoming second season. The identities of their roles are currently a secret, but production is underway now. Among the first round of newcomers to the weekly whodunit series are Giancarlo Esposito (“Better Call Saul,” “Bob Roberts”), Katie Holmes (“Batman Begins,” “Ray Donovan”), Gaby Hoffmann (“Transparent,” “Eric”), and Kumail Nanjiani (“Eternals,” “Only Murders in the Building”). It’s safe to assume that at least one or two of these talented individuals might be playing the role of a killer.

Natasha Lyonne’s character, Charlie, in the show “Poker Face” created by Rian Johnson, has an extraordinary talent for detecting lies. With this skill, she solves odd mysteries that no one else can seem to figure out, wherever she goes.

Next year, Johnson expressed in a recent interview, we’ll come up with something new and original for the next season, unlike the previous one. Rest assured, it won’t be a carbon copy of Season 1. Lyonne chuckled and admitted, “I can’t reveal any details yet as nothing is set. But we are both committed to maintaining the high standard of our work. We won’t take it easy.” Johnson added, “We plan on keeping the episodic format with standalone cases for each episode.”

As a passionate fan of both film and television, I’m thrilled to share my excitement about “Poker Face,” a new and intriguing series created by Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman. Having followed their careers closely, I can’t help but be impressed with their two Academy Award nominations. Now, they’re making their foray into television, and I’m eager to see what they bring to the small screen.

As a seasoned television industry professional with years of experience under my belt, I’ve come to appreciate the intricacies and nuances that go into producing a successful show. And let me tell you, the team behind Season 2 of a popular series I follow is nothing short of impressive.

In January 2023, the initial season of the show made its debut on Peacock and was met with great praise from critics, earning a “certified fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The first installment of the series received four Primetime Emmy nominations, including one for Natasha Lyonne’s outstanding lead actress performance in a comedy series. Furthermore, Judith Light’s guest role earned Peacock its inaugural Emmy award.
