Each episode introduces new guest stars, keeping the show fresh and engaging with its mystery-of-the-week format.
After a two-year hiatus, "Poker Face" is set to return for its much-anticipated second season on Peacock. Critic Samantha Nelson praised the first 10 episodes, saying, “Driven by a magnetic performance from Natasha Lyonne, clever writing, and a laundry list of comedic guest stars, Season 2 of the howcatchem isn’t prestige TV, but it should definitely be on your watch list.” Whether you're new to the series or eagerly awaiting the next installment, here's everything you need to know to get started with "Poker Face."
