Rian Johnson’s Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne is easily one of — if not the — best original series Peacock’s ever produced, which is why it comes as no surprise that it’s been renewed for a second season.

Ahead of Poker Face’s seventh episode hitting Peacock tomorrow, the streamer announced today that it’s ordered a second season about Lyonne’s Charlie Cale, a woman who uses her uncanny ability to detect lies to solve murder mysteries from week to week.

In a statement about the season 2 order, Susan Rovner, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming’s head of content, said that while the streamer’s hopes for Poker Face were always high, “the critical acclaim and viewer response has been beyond our wildest dreams” and that it plans to capitalize on that energy.

“Working alongside the creative genius of Rian Johnson, Natasha Lyonne and [producer] Ram Bergman, along with our partners at MRC and T-Street, has been a spectacular ride, and we can’t wait to hit the road for another season as we continue to build momentum across Peacock’s originals slate,” Rovner said.
