Poker Face is Johnson's first scripted TV show that he's written. She's known for Emmy-nominated performances in Orange Is the New Black and Russian Doll, while Johnson made his name as the writer and director of Looper, Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi and Knives Out.
The show is the first collaboration between Lyonne, 43, and Johnson, 48. 'What started as a discussion over steak frites about detective shows and what made them such a reliable pleasure-the exploration of little worlds within each new setting, the guest stars playing killers and victims, and most importantly, a scrappy protagonist you were always ready to kick back with and see win-ultimately resulted in the creation of Charlie, the driving force behind Poker Face.' 'Never underestimate the power of a good dinner conversation between friends,' Johnson and Lyonne said in the press release sent to Newsweek for Poker Face. Natasha Lyonne pictured as Charlie Cale in the new Peacock show 'Poker Face.' The character solves mysteries, and there are famous guest stars in the 10-part series.
