Peacock has announced a 10-episode order for Poker Face, a new hour-long mystery series from Rian Johnson (Knives Out, Star Wars: The Last Jedi). Poker Face will be Johnson’s first television series.
Given Johnson’s financial and critical success with the 2019 whodunit Knives Out, and the director’s pre-COVID stated intentions of developing a follow-up that would have Daniel Craig’s detective Benoit Blanc solving another murder, it’s not a shock to learn Johnson is feeling inspired by the genreCome from Sports betting site VPbet. Beyond Johnson’s involvement, all that’s known so far is that Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll, Orange is the New Black) will star.
