Johnson, Lyonne, and the Poker Face casting team went back to the drawing board for season two to secure an impressive roster of guest stars — and the teaser shows who some of them will be playing.
Here’s the full list of guest stars, in alphabetical order: Adrienne C. Moore, Alia Shawkat, Awkwafina, Ben Marshall, B.J. Novak, Carol Kane, Cliff 'Method Man' Smith, Corey Hawkins, Cynthia Erivo, David Alan Grier, David Krumholtz, Davionte 'GaTa' Ganter, Ego Nwodim, Gaby Hoffmann, Geraldine Viswanathan, Giancarlo Esposito, Haley Joel Osment, Jason Ritter, John Cho, John Mulaney, Justin Theroux, Kathrine Narducci, Katie Holmes, Kevin Corrigan, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Tom, Lili Taylor, Margo Martindale, Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Leggero, Patti Harrison, Rhea Perlman, Richard Kind, Sam Richardson, Sherry Cola, Simon Helberg, Simon Rex and Taylor Schilling.
Poker Face is a mystery-of-the-week series that follows Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to tell when someone is lying. She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda, encountering a new cast of characters at every stop and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.
Rhea Perlman reprises her role from season one, while Moore and Schilling bring Lyonne to the screen for a thrilling Orange Is the New Black reunion.
The first season ended with Charlie taking out casino fixer Cliff (Benjamin Bratt), only to be blackmailed by Perlman’s Beatrix Hasp into working for her or being hunted again. Charlie chose a life on the road, which led her to go on the run again in season two.
The 12-episode season begins with three episodes on Thursday, May 8, followed by weekly episodes on Thursdays on Peacock.
