Knives Out and Glass Onion director Rian Johnson is taking his murder-mystery talents to the small screen, with a new mystery series called Poker Face. The ten-part show is coming to Peacock on January 26. Peacock released a short teaser trailer today, which you can check out below.
Poker Face stars Natasha Lyonne, who is known for playing Nicky Nichols in Orange Is the New Black, and Nadia Vulvokov in Netflix's Russian Doll. Johnson and Lyonne are credited as executive producers, and Johnson is also listed as the creator, writer, and director of the series.
The two creatives shared a summary of what to expect in the show:
"We invite you to follow Charlie (Lyonne) on a cross-country road trip as she meets a rogue’s gallery of characters and avenges a new injustice each episode, armed with little more than her uncanny ability to detect lies and a genuine appreciation for her fellow humans (and the occasional dog).
Now please leave the overthinking to Rian, who has masterfully crafted ten self-contained puzzles for Charlie to solve. Just jump in the back of her ‘69 Plymouth Barracuda and enjoy the ride."
Fans of Johnson's brand of detective stories have a lot to look forward to in the coming months. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is coming to theaters in November before hitting Netflix on December 23. We called the movie amazing in our review, saying, "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a bigger, bolder, funnier, angrier sequel that improves on almost every aspect of its predecessor." We just wonder what all of these great murder mystery projects mean for Johnson's Star Wars trilogy, which is apparently still in development.
