Peacock has canceled the crime dramedy Poker Face after two seasons, but creators Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne are exploring options to revive the series elsewhere. The show, starring Lyonne as lie-detecting drifter Charlie Cale, may return with Game of Thrones alum Peter Dinklage in the lead role. Johnson and Lyonne are seeking a two-season commitment from a new platform.
Cancellation Details
TVLine and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on November 13, 2025, that Peacock will not renew Poker Face for a third season. The series, which debuted in 2023, featured Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman with the ability to detect lies, who solves murders while on the run across the United States. Season 2 concluded on July 10, 2025, with Charlie escaping a confrontation with assassin Alex (played by Patti Harrison) and hitching a ride with a trucker, leaving her future open-ended.
Potential Revival
Despite the cancellation, Johnson and Lyonne are actively shopping the show to other platforms. According to Deadline, via TVLine, they are eyeing Peter Dinklage to portray Charlie Cale in a potential return, with Lyonne remaining as an executive producer. The duo issued a joint statement: "We've been germinating this next move together since writing the Season 2 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."
They are reportedly seeking a two-season order, though it's unclear if co-showrunners Lilla and Nora Zuckerman would return. The Hollywood Reporter noted Johnson's hope to continue the series at another outlet, aligning with the shopping efforts.
Show Background
Poker Face blended mystery and comedy, drawing praise for its episodic structure and guest stars. Charlie's lie-detecting gift forced her nomadic life after the pilot's events, leading to FBI pursuit by Season 2's end. No new home has been secured yet, leaving fans awaiting updates on whether Dinklage could helm the highway adventures.
