The series also stars Benjamin Bratt, who plays a security guard for the casino Charlie is on the run from, and features such notable guest stars as Adrien Brody, Chloë Sevigny, and Dascha Polanco.Ĭourtesy of Peacock Courtesy of Peacock Jesse Grant/Peacock // NBC Universal The pilot opens with a suspicious murder, which kicks off the chain of events that push Charlie to hit the road, finding herself tracing homicides from New Mexico to Texas. Dubbed a “mystery of the week” series, each episode unwraps a new mini mystery, with Natasha’s Charlie Cale at the center of every one.
The first four episodes of the series debuted in late January, with subsequent weekly episode drops keeping viewers plugged in. From the mind of Rian Johnson-who wrote and directed Knives Out and the subsequent Glass Onion- Poker Face follows a human lie detector fleeing cross-country who can’t help but find herself in the middle of mystery. The show’s first season spans 10 episodes, which means 10 hours of ASMR (read: Natasha Lyonne’s voice). Peacock’s latest hit series Poker Face has quickly become a “watercooler” show, stirring up conversation online and IRL.
