Suspect someone’s lying? Natasha Lyonne is sniffing out the truth in Poker Face, a 10-episode series that premiered on Peacock on Jan. 26. According to Deadline, the series landed at No. 2 on Nielsen’s U.S. streaming originals list for the week of January 30-February 5.
The season finale will debut on Peacock on Thursday (March 9).
In the show, Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, a casino worker who can tell if a person is lying by looking at their face. After discovering her new talent for spotting lies, Charlie takes her crime-solving skills on the road.
Lyonne, who previously starred in Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black and Russian Doll, revealed that Charlie is inspired by Jeff Bridges’ character, The Dude, from The Big Lebowski. Speaking to the Associated Press, Lyonne described the character as “a person a little bit set back who’s kind of got sun on their face.”
“I’m usually more of a city slicker and someone who avoids getting hit by taxis and runs down in a subway,” she said.
Lyonne serves as executive producer on the mystery-of-the-week series created and executive produced by Rian Jonhson, the man behind Knives Out. The native New Yorker reunites with her OITNB co-star Dascha Polanco, who plays Charlie’s friend Natalie in Poker Face (Polanco also appeared in Russian Doll).
Adrien Brody, Benjamin Bratt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, David Castañeda, Lil Rel Howery, Jameela Jamil, Ellen Barkin and Chloë Sevigny are some of the series’ guest stars.
Maya Rudolph, Ram Bergman, Nena Rodrigue, Nora Zuckerman, Lilla Zuckerman and Iain B. MacDonald are co-executive producers. Keep reading for details on how to stream Poker Face from anywhere.
