Rian Johnson Reveals His Next Whodunnit Mystery With 'Poker Face' Trailer – Watch

Freshly fresh off performing "Among Us" with Daniel Craig and Angela Lansbury in "Glass Onion," Natasha Lyonne reunites with Rian Johnson and takes center stage in her own series of murder mysteries. The 'Russian Doll' star leads the cast of 'Poker Face,' a new Peacock series from Rian Johnson, and the streamer released the series' official trailer on Thursday.

The Mystery Series of the Week sees Lyonne play Charlie Cale, a private detective in the mold of James Garner in 'The Rockford Files' who is something of a human lie detector - she can instantly tell when someone is 't tell the truth, no matter how airtight their alibi is. On the road in his yellow 1969 Plymouth Barracuda, Cale travels across America and ends up constantly stumbling upon strange new cases to solve along the way. The trailer presents the series as a 70s-inspired throwback, with Lyonne bringing a comedic element to the series as a somewhat hapless detective.
