We can count on Poker Face to introduce us to some pretty amazing guest stars in each episode, and this trend will continue in its second season. Awkwafina, Corey Hawkins, Simon Rex, and Method Man will join in the next installment of Peacock’s hit crime comedy series.
This mystery-of-the-week series hails from creator, writer, director, and executive producer Rian Johnson, and it stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie, a woman with an extraordinary ability to tell when someone’s lying. While on the run from a sinister casino boss, she travels all across the United States, running into all sorts of colorful characters and helping them solve crimes along the way.
The show’s case-of-the-week format opened the doors for many major stars to join Lyonne in guest-starring roles. Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, Kumail Nanjiani, Sherry Cola, Kevin Corrigan, Ben Marshall, Kathrine Narducci, Cynthia Erivo, BJ Novak, Margo Martindale, John Mulaney, Ego Nwodim and Sam Richardson have previously been added to the Season 2 cast, and it turns out that was just the beginning.
The Golden Globe winner Awkwafina (The Farewell) is the latest superstar to land a guest role in this series. She’ll be joined by Corey Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton), Simon Rex (Red Rocket), and Cliff “Method Man” Smith (Power Book II: Ghost) when Poker Face returns for its second season on Peacock.
