Poker Face Season 2 Welcomes Esposito, Holmes, Hoffmann, Nanjiani

Rian Johnson & Natasha Lyonne's Poker Face is welcoming Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, and Kumail Nanjiani as guest stars.


Earlier this month, the great news broke that filming on the second season of Rian Johnson's ("Knives Out" films, Brick) & Natasha Lyonne's (Russian Doll) Poker Face had officially gotten underway. After a season filled with a pretty impressive guest star lineup, the second season is looking to keep that tradition going. Reports are that Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), Katie Holmes (Ray Donovan), Gaby Hoffmann (Eric), and Kumail Nanjiani (Only Murders in the Building) have all joined the cast in guest-starring roles – though no details on their roles were provided.

"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:
