While PokerFace has not been officially renewed, the odds are in its favor...
The first five episodes of Poker Face are now streaming on Peacock and the Rian Johnson-created series still has five more episodes to go this season. The show stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman who has the ability to tell when people are lying, and the episodes are formatted similarly to Columbo, meaning the audience watches a guest star commit a murder at the top of the episode before the main character comes in to solve the crime.
"It's performed fantastic," Rovner said of Poker Face."We are over the moon." She added,"I know we don't give numbers," before the hosts tried to get them out of her, but she continued,"I can't right now; hopefully at some point we will be able to but [Poker Face] is definitely punching above its weight. In addition to the actual numbers, we are also over the moon about the critical response. [It] has a 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
When asked how Peacock plans to capitalize on their breakout hits, Rovner explained,"First, we're going to continue marketing and promoting the shows as well as having them to be the runway for the shows that are coming. Just like scheduling, we do put shows after Paul T. Goldman and Poker Face. So hopefully people can find more of our originals. There's going to be a big ad for Poker Face during the Super Bowl, which is exciting. We're really doubling down on it.
How Does Charlie's Gift Work on Poker Face?During a recent interview with Variety, Lyonne and Johnson broke down just how Charlie's special gift works. "We had to define this really clearly for ourselves and the rules that we landed are, she can tell if someone says something out loud that they know is an intentional lie," Johnson explained."If someone says something that's untrue, but they think that it's the truth, that will read as truth to her. It's entirely just if someone says something that's a lie.
