Over a week after aPoker Faceseason 2 announcementwas teased by Susan Rovner, the chairman of entertainment content at NBCUniversal TV and streaming confirmed the renewal in a statement. “‘Poker Face’ is one of those rare, undeniable shows that we all fell in love with from the start, but the critical acclaim and viewer response has been beyond our wildest dreams,” Rovner said. “Working alongside the creative genius of Rian Johnson, Natasha Lyonne and Ram Bergman, along with our partners at MRC and T-Street, has been a spectacular ride. We can’t wait to hit the road for another season as we continue to build momentum across Peacock’s originals slate.”
Poker Facecreator Johnson, who also wrote and directed several episodes, reacted to the news on Twitter by writing, “Our goal is to keep making these until you’re all so sick of us.” Lyonne also took to the social media platform, congratulating fans of the series and writing, “We’re so happy you like our show and can’t wait to make some more for you!” Peacock did not announce a release window forPoker Faceseason 2, but the wait might be long since season 1 still hasn’t finished.
News of the renewal might not be surprising, considering Rovner already toutedPoker Face’s success with critics and ratings. Johnson already hinted atendless possibilities forPoker Faceafter season 1. However, audiences will probably have to wait and see how Charlie’s story ends in the first finale before they have a better sense of the future.
Fans should not expect acrossover betweenPoker Faceand Johnson’sKnives Out. The filmmaker has already suggestedPoker Faceis a series that exists within hisKnives Outuniverse. So, the best fans can hope for is an episode of the Peacock series playing in the background inKnives Out 3.
Poker Faceseason 1 releases new episodes on Fridays onPeacock.
