The streaming platform Peacock has cancelled its crime comedy-drama ‘Poker Face’, headlined by Natasha Lyonne, after two seasons, a PTI report from Los Angeles stated yesterday.
Inspired by mystery-of-the-week series like ‘Columbo’, the show was created by Rian Johnson and debuted in 2021. In the show, the ‘Russian Doll’ fame Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, a woman who can detect lies as she starts solving murders travelling across the country (United States).
In India, the show is available on JioHotstar as part of the Peacock hub.
Meanwhile, entertainment world news outlet Deadline confirmed the plan and a statement from Johnson and Lyonne, latter of whom stays as Executive Producer. “We’ve been germinating this next move together since writing the season two finale. We love our Poker Face and this is the perfect way to keep it rolling. Give us a beat and we may just see Charlie Cale again down that open highway,” the statement said.
‘Poker Face’, according to Deadline, finished season two as one of Peacock’s most-watched series, but the show has turned out to be expensive and the ratings were down a bit from a first season filled with critical raves and Emmy nominations.
