Poker Face Adds Even More Guest Stars for Season 2: Rhea Perlman, Simon Helberg & More
Poker Face is still adding guest stars to an already stacked cast for its second season.
Like the detective shows which inspired it, Poker Face is a show tailor-made for big guest stars. Each episode brings a new setting, a new mystery, and a new collection of potential suspects, and that means beloved figures from throughout film and television can show up, turn in an unforgettable performance, and be gone by the next mystery.
It's no wonder, then, that the critically acclaimed Peacock original series created by Rian Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne has already attracted a huge number of guest stars for its upcoming second season. But Poker Face isn't done yet. Today, Peacock announced even more guest stars for Season 2, including a TV icon, a modern sitcom superstar, and more.
