Poker Face has proven to be a major hit for NBC’s Peacock, with the murder mystery series already renewed for a second season on the streaming service.
Created by Rian Johnson, the series stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a casino worker on the run who entangles herself into the mysterious deaths of strangers along the way.
A synopsis reads: “Charlie has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but investigate and solve.”
Alongside Lyonne, the cast of the first season also includes Benjamin Bratt, Ron Perlman, and Adrian Brody, along with a host of guest stars.
While the series sees its protagonist travel to a different location in each episode, filming was primarily based Newburgh, New York, running from April through October, 2022, in locations throughout the mid-Hudson Valley.
At least one episode of the series was filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. External scenes were shot in Laughlin, Nevada, with the Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino serving as the exterior to the fictional Frost Casino.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, interior shots for the Frost Casino were filmed on sets in upstate New York.
Speaking about the show’s renewal for a second season, Susan Rovner, chairman of entertainment content for television and streaming at NBCUniversal, recently said (via Variety): ““Poker Face is one of those rare, undeniable shows that we all fell in love with from the start, but the critical acclaim and viewer response has been beyond our wildest dreams.
“Working alongside the creative genius of Rian Johnson, Natasha Lyonne and Ram Bergman, along with our partners at MRC and T-Street, has been a spectacular ride. We can’t wait to hit the road for another season as we continue to build momentum across Peacock’s originals slate.”

Poker Face is set to return to NBC’s Peacock for a second season after being renewed in February, 2023.
The mystery drama premiered its first season on January 26. Created by Rian Johnson, the series stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a casino worker on the run who entangles herself into the mysterious deaths of strangers along the way.
A synopsis reads: “Charlie has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but investigate and solve.”
Having proven to be a hit with viewers and critics alike (99% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), the series is now set to return for a second run.
Peacock has not yet announced a release date for the second season, and with a few episodes of the first run still yet to air, it’s unclear how far development is on the second instalment.
Subsequently, it’s also unclear what the plot of second will be. However, if it continues in the vein as the first, it will likely see Charlie encounter a new string of characters, providing her with a different case to investigate each week.

“She was very patient in letting me describe the rules of ‘Among Us’, up to a point”
The post Rian Johnson tried to teach Angela Lansbury how to play ‘Among Us’ for ‘Glass Onion’ appeared first on NME.
Director Rian Johnson has shared that he tried to teach Murder, She Wrote star Angela Lansbury how to play Among Us for her cameo in Glass Onion, but admitted that she was “not a gamer”.
Speaking to The New York Times, Johnson reflected on Lansbury’s cameo in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which saw the late actress play Innersloth’s popular whodunnit game Among Us alongside Natasha Lyonne, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Stephen Sondheim, and Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig).
Johnson shared that Lansbury “couldn’t have been lovelier and more generous,” but admitted that she was “not a gamer” when it came to Among Us, a video game that draws parallels to Knives Out and Glass Onion by pitting a team of players against a murderer disguised as their teammate.
“She was very patient in letting me describe the rules of Among Us, up to a point,” said Johnson. “At which point she just said, ‘You know what? Just tell me what the lines are. I’ll trust you.’”
Glass Onion was Lansbury’s final film appearance, as she passed away in October 2022 – just over a month before the film debuted. According to her family, Lansbury died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles – just five days before her 97th birthday.
Lansbury’s “A-list cameo” was acknowledged in our four-star review of Glass Onion, which praised the film’s gripping plot and star-studded cast.
“Glass Onion is a bigger, flashier, funnier, twistier, clever-er riff on everything that worked well the first time,” reads our review, which adds that it’s “almost impossible to watch without feeling as if you’re being treated to something special.”
As for Among Us, 2022 was a busy year – aside from featuring in Glass Onion, the multiplayer game also took part in crossovers for Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator and Fortnite.
In other gaming news, Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai has shared that he is “semi-retired” and focusing on his YouTube channel.
