"Poker Face" Canceled at Peacock, But Creator Rian Johnson Seeks New Home

As of November 13, 2025, the mystery series "Poker Face" has been canceled by Peacock after two seasons. However, the show's creator, Rian Johnson, is not giving up on the series just yet. He is actively seeking a new home for "Poker Face," with the goal of securing a two-season commitment from another streaming platform or broadcaster.

The decision to cancel the show at Peacock was made earlier this year. While the series, which debuted in January 2023, had gained a loyal following, the network ultimately opted not to renew it for a third season. This has now set the stage for Johnson to explore other options to keep the show alive.

One significant change in the potential new seasons of "Poker Face" is that Natasha Lyonne, who had played the lead role of Charlie Cale, is stepping down from the starring position. Instead, acclaimed actor Peter Dinklage will be taking over the role of the human lie detector Charlie Cale. This decision was made jointly by Lyonne and Johnson, and Lyonne will remain on the show as an executive producer.

In a joint statement, Lyonne and Johnson expressed their enthusiasm for the future of "Poker Face," saying, "We've been germinating this next move together since writing the season two finale. We love our 'Poker Face' and this is the perfect way to keep it rolling. Give us a beat and we may just see Charlie Cale again down that open highway."
