HBO Eyes Dinklage for 'Poker Face' After Peacock Cut

HBO is exploring the possibility of reviving Rian Johnson's acclaimed mystery series, 'Poker Face.' Following its recent cancellation by Peacock after two seasons, the show's creators have been actively seeking a new home. HBO's chairman and CEO, Casey Bloys, has confirmed that discussions have taken place regarding a potential continuation of the series.

A significant development in these talks is the potential involvement of actor Peter Dinklage, who previously starred in HBO's 'Game of Thrones.' Dinklage is being considered to step into the lead role of Charlie Cale. This pivot follows a mutual decision for original lead Natasha Lyonne to depart the series, though she is expected to continue as an executive producer.

The proposed new direction for 'Poker Face' involves a rotating cast, with a new actor stepping into the role of Charlie Cale every two seasons. This innovative approach aims to keep the series fresh and sustainable. While nothing is confirmed, the conversations between HBO, Johnson, and MRC signal a strong potential for the show's return.
