"It's a real good news/bad news situation for fans of Poker Face - the bad news being that Peacock has canceled the Columbo-inspired mystery series starring Natasha Lyonne after two seasons. The good news is that creator Rian Johnson has a wild plan for keeping the show alive: Replace Lyonne with Peter Dinklage as the series's "human lie detector" for not just Season 3, but Season 4 too."
"In a statement to Deadline, Johnson and Lyonne (who would remain with the show as an executive producer) said "We've been germinating this next move together since writing the Season 2 finale. We love our Poker Face and this is the perfect way to keep it rolling. Give us a beat and we may just see Charlie Cale again down that open highway.""
Peacock canceled the Columbo-inspired mystery series Poker Face after two seasons. Creator Rian Johnson plans to reboot the series by replacing Natasha Lyonne with Peter Dinklage as the show's central "human lie detector" for Seasons 3 and 4. Johnson is shopping the rebooted version to other networks seeking a two-season commitment. Natasha Lyonne would remain attached as an executive producer. The plan grew from ideas developed while writing the Season 2 finale. Recasting a major lead role has historical precedent, and no new network home has been determined, though Dinklage's involvement is expected to generate strong interest.
