Google PlayIn case you’ve somehow not noticed it, Rian Johnson is indeed having a moment. More specifically, Johnson-helmed mysteries can’t help but dominate the conversation, including with last month’s Netflix arrival of the Knives Out continuation Glass Onion.
And while fans probably shouldn’t expect their tweeted wishes for a Muppets and Benoit Blanc crossover to be brought to life anytime soon, they most certainly should be looking forward to the debut of another mystery-focused project from the director, this time starring the reliably great Natasha Lyonne.
The upcoming Poker Face sees Lyonne (who’s also an executive producer on the series) playing Charlie Cale, who will spend all 10 episodes of what Peacock has billed as a “mystery-of-the-week” compulsively using her unique mystery-solving expertise while on the run in a Plymouth Barracuda.
In a previously shared statement teasing what fans can expect from his latest endeavor, Johnson and Lyonne revealed that the initial idea for what became Poker Face started as merely “a good dinner conversation” over steak frites about detective shows, namely how they often achieve a “reliable pleasure” for the viewer.
Poker Face premieres on Jan. 26 via Peacock.
