Natasha Lyonne’s sharp-tongued, lie-detecting sleuth Charlie Cale returns in season 2 of Poker Face — and the stakes are higher than ever. While she’s no stranger to danger, this time around she’s not running from death… but exploitation.

Following the critical acclaim and awards success of season one — with nods from the Emmys, Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and the Writers’ Guild of America — season two kicks off a few months after Charlie turned down casino boss Beatrix Hasp’s (Rhea Perlman) job offer. The fallout? A pair of assassins now trail her every move.

As ever, Lyonne — described as having a “rusty clarinet” voice — delivers charm and grit in equal measure. Having criss-crossed America solving bizarre murders and calling out liars in her uniquely blunt way, Charlie once again finds herself embroiled in mystery after mystery.

Empire calls it “a procedural ‘howdunnit’ that traverses the oddest corners of Americana… each episode a self-contained mystery with a unique tone and setting — from Minor League baseball games to police award ceremonies and eerie funeral homes.”

An All-Star Lineup of Guest Stars

One of the show’s most-loved trademarks is its incredible guest cast — and season two raises the bar. Look out for:

  • Adrien Brody

  • Ellen Barkin

  • Luis Guzmán

  • Chloë Sevigny

  • Katie Holmes

  • Awkwafina

  • John Mulaney

  • Melanie Lynskey

  • Steve Buscemi

  • Alia Shawkat

Each guest delivers scene-stealing performances that other shows wouldn’t dare to try.
