Rian Johnson's new mystery show is not a typical whodunnit. Rather, it's a "how-done-it": At the start of each episode, viewers will watch a murder take place from the perspective of the villain, then the show will rewind in time and it's up to Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) to figure it out—and get justice.
"You can describe [Poker Face] as a 'case of the week' show," star Benjamin Bratt tells Town & Country, "but we have to acknowledge that it's just doused in Rian Johnson secret sauce. He's always going to take the genre and subvert it a little bit—adding absurdity, humor, shocking violence. The unique thing about what he's created here is that asides from episodes one and ten, they're standalone movies, really. You can watch the series out of sequence. You can watch episode two, then jump to seven, and back to five, and not necessarily be lost—if, in fact, you watch the pilot first."
There will be ten episodes in the first season of Poker Face, and they will release four episodes at first, then weekly on Thursdays on Peacock. Here's the schedule:
Episode 1, "Dead Man's Hand": Thursday, January 26
Episode 2, "The Night Shift": Thursday, January 26
