Poker Face S02: Natasha Lyonne, Rian Johnson Series Begins Filming

Good news for fans of Rian Johnson's & Natasha Lyonne's crime-solving series Poker Face, with filming on Season 2 now officially underway.

It was back in February 2023 when we first learned that we would be getting more of Rian Johnson's ("Knives Out" films, Brick) & Natasha Lyonne's (Russian Doll) crime-solving goodness in our lives. That's when made the wise decision to renew the mystery series Poker Face for a second season. But with the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes shutting down film and television productions for a good chunk of last year (until the AMPTP finally came to its senses and signed both unions to new three-year deals), there were some understandable delays. But now, the word is out – writer/director Tony Tost and Johnson have both put the word out that today marks the first day of filming of the new season. Here's what Johnson posted on Instagram:

"First day of filming season two of Poker Face. Still counting my blessings that I'm getting to step in and help make a new season of one of my favorite shows," Tost wrote as the caption to their Instagram post, along with the original clapperboard image that Johnson shared:

With the first season dropping in early 2023, here's a look back at the official trailer for Peacock's Poker Face (followed by a look at the previously released teaser and a rundown of who's who this season):

Peacock's Poker Face is a 10-episode mystery-of-the-week series following Lyonne's Charlie, who 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 solve.

As if having Johnson and Lyonne paired together wasn't enough, the streaming series also pulled together an impressive line-up of guest stars. How impressive? How do Adrien Brody, Angel Desai, Audrey Corsa, Benjamin Bratt, Brandon Michael Hall, Charles Melton, Chelsea Frei, Cherry Jones, Chloë Sevigny, Clea DuVall, Colton Ryan, Danielle MacDonald, Dascha Polanco, Ellen Barkin, Hong Chau, Jasmine Aiyana Garvin, Jameela Jamil, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Judith Light, Leslie Silva, Lil Rel Howery, Luis Guzmán, Megan Suri, Niall Cunningham, Nicholas Cirillo, Nick Nolte, Reed Birney, Rhea Perlman, Ron Perlman, Rowan Blanchard, S. Epatha Merkerson, Shane Paul McGhie, Simon Helberg, Stephanie Hsu, Tim Blake Nelson, and Tim Meadows sound?
