Natasha Lyonne's "Poker Face" season 2 premiering this spring

Peacock has set a spring premiere for the second season of "Poker Face." Tony Tost, a veteran of "The Terror" and "Longmire," is taking over as showrunner. Of course, Lyonne and Johnson are both executive producers, not to mention writers and directors, on this season. The duo released a press statement alongside this announcement. It's lengthy, but here's a slice:

To bring season two to life, we pulled visual inspiration from American ’70s cinema, all the stuff we love like Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich. But the backbone of this show is TV — the  kind of TV we grew up watching, episodic case of the week gems like "Columbo" and "The Rockford Files" and "Quantum Leap." Each episode is a mini movie, existing in its own world with a unique tone  and vibe, featuring an eccentric lot of characters played by a truly gonzo parade of guest stars.

Indeed, the list of guest stars announced is lengthy, and includes Cynthia Erivo, John Mulaney, and Kumail Nanjiani among others. That's the power of Rian Johnson, as the casts of his Benoit Blanc movies show as well. 

The first season of "Poker Face" was really enjoyable, and the second season promised more of the same (and then some, as the episode order is up to 12 from 10). You have to wait until spring, but if you didn't see the first season, that gives you plenty of time to catch up.
