“I’m trying to figure out what happened.” “You watch too much Dateline.” Peacock has dropped the full trailer for their new mystery-of-the-week series titled Poker Face, streaming later this month to give you something fun to watch this winter. Not to be confused with Russell Crowe’s movie also called Poker Face. Glass Onion director Rian Johnson made this with co-writer Charlie Peppers and Natasha Lyonne after filming his last movie. The series follows Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an “extraordinary ability” to determine when someone is lying – a “human lie detector,” as someone calls her in this trailer. She hits the road driving in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve. The main cast also features Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, David Castañeda, Ron Perlman, Benjamin Bratt, Adrien Brody, Danielle Macdonald, Dascha Polanco, Lil Rel Howery, Ellen Barkin, Chloë Sevigny, the Tim Blake Nelson, Hong Chau, Cherry Jones, Judith Light, Tim Meadows, and Jameela Jamil. I’m in!! That’s quite a crazy ensemble, so many great names appearing in this.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Rian Johnson’s series Poker Face, direct from YouTube:
