Poker Face is an American crime comedy-drama television series crafted by Rian Johnson for streaming platform Peacock. The show functions as a "case-of-the-week" murder mystery format, featuring Natasha Lyonne in the role of Charlie Cale, a woman who naturally identifies when individuals are lying. As she journeys throughout America, Cale becomes involved in solving various murders.

Peacock revealed the series during March 2021, with Lyonne signed on and Johnson set to direct. Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman were appointed as co-showrunners. The initial season contained 10 episodes and premiered on January 26, 2023. By February 2023, the show had been ordered for a second season that launched on May 8, 2025. Critics have praised the series. Lyonne earned a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.

November 2025 marked the end of the series after only two seasons. Johnson is now promoting the concept to different networks aiming for a two-season deal. Although Lyonne will not continue as Cale, plans exist for Peter Dinklage to assume the role.
