The five join the Russian Doll star, who will lead the series. Previously announced were Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Super Pumped, Pinocchio), Benjamin Bratt (DMZ, Modern Family), Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), and David Castañeda (The Umbrella Academy, Sicario: Day of the Soldado). The plot and character details are kept under wraps, but Variety speculates Poker Face will be a procedural that sees Lyonne's character working to solve different murders in each episode.
