‘Poker Face’ adds Cynthia Erivo, B.J. Novak and Margo Martindale to Season 2 all-star cast

Peacock has announced the all-star cast for Season 2 of “Poker Face” continues to expand. The Emmy-winning comedy has added Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked,” “Harriet”), B.J. Novak (“The Office,” “Vengeance”) and Margo Martindale (“The Americans,” “The Sticky”) as guest stars. They join previously announced guest stars Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffman, Kumail Nanjiani, Sherry Cola, Kevin Corrigan, Ben Marshall and Kathrine Narducci.

“Poker Face” is a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve. 

Season 1 premiered on Peacock in January 2023 to rave reviews and quickly became certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The show’s first season received four Primetime Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy Actress for Natasha Lyonne, and garnered Peacock its first Emmy win for Judith Light‘s Best Comedy Guest Actress performance.
