Poker Face Canceled at Peacock, But Wild Reboot Could Happen
------------------------------------------------------------
In a surprise turn of events, Rian Johnson's crime-comedy drama
series Poker Face has been canceled at Peacock, but a strange
reboot could also be in the works.

What Poker Face reboot could happen?
According to a new report from Variety, Peacock has decided to
cancel the series, which saw its second season end in a
cliffhanger of sorts. Despite the cancellation, though, both
Johnson and star Nataha Lyonne are looking to keep the show
going in a unique way.

Variety's report notes that the pair are shopping a new version
of Poker Face, led by Peter Dinklage, to companies. The report
notes that Johnson and Lyonne are looking for a two-season order
from a distributor, with the plan being to swap out a new actor
"every two seasons."

No word on what the new version of Poker Face would look like,
but in a statement on the move, both Lyonne (who would stay on as
an executive producer) and Johnson said the pair were hoping to
see the show again.

"We've been germinating this next move together since writing the
season two finale. We love our Poker Face and this is the perfect
way to keep it rolling," the pair's statement read. "Give us a
beat and we may just see Charlie Cale again down that open
highway."

Alongside Lyonne, Season 2 of Poker Face also featured a litany of
high-profile guest stars, including Alia Shawkat, Awkwafina, Ben
Marshall, B.J. Novak, Carol Kane, Cliff "Method Man" Smith, Corey
Hawkins, Cynthia Erivo, David Krumholtz, Davionte "GaTa" Ganter,
Ego Nwodim, Gaby Hoffmann, Giancarlo Esposito, Haley Joel Osment,
Jason Ritter, John Cho, John Mulaney, Justin Theroux, Kathrine
Narducci, Katie Holmes, Kevin Corrigan, Kumail Nanjiani, Margo
Martindale, Melanie Lynskey, Patti Harrison, Sam Richardson,
Sherry Cola, and Simon Rex.

"The series is a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha
Lyonne's Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine
when someone is lying," reads the Season 2 logline. "This season,
Charlie continues her journey on the road across the country,
encountering a new cast of characters and investigating crimes
along the way."

Since its debut in 2023, the series received a near-perfect
Tomatometer rating of 98% based on 114 reviews.
