Poker Face on Peacock: What to expect from the upcoming series?
On January 5, 2023, Peacock released the official trailer for Poker Face, which offers a glimpse of the series' intriguing world and fascinating set of characters. The trailer opens with the protagonist telling Adrien Brody's character, Casino Boss, that there's ''nothing mystical'' about her ability to understand when someone's lying.
The trailer subsequently goes on to depict several gripping moments from the show, but makes sure not to give away too many key details from the plot that could potentially spoil the fans' viewing experience.
Overall, the trailer maintains a carefree and lighthearted vibe whilst also incorporating elements of action and thriller. Along with the trailer, Peacock also put out the official synopsis of the show, which reads:
''Poker Face is a 10-episode “mystery-of-the-week” series following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.''
Based on the official trailer and synopsis, viewers can look forward to a quirky mystery comedy drama that delves deep into a lot of interesting cases. Those who enjoyed movies like Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and The Afterparty will certainly have a fun time watching this brand new series.
As per Deadline, the first four episodes of the show will be released on the same day, i.e. January 26, 2023, following which the series will adapt a weekly-release format, with the remaining four episodes releasing every Thursday.
