Peacock has decided: Poker Face‘s Charlie Cale has caught her last liar and solved her last mystery.

But creator Rian Johnson is not giving up on his high-concept crime drama with the ’70s Columbo flair; he is shopping his show around to other platforms and proposing Peter Dinklage as the new face of Poker Face.

Johnson, whose next Knives Out film, titled Wake Up Dead Man, will premiere on Netflix next month, wants Poker Face to have a two-year cycle, with a new lead actor after two seasons. If Johnson does find a new home for the show, Natasha Lyonne, who plays human lie-detector Charlie Cale in the first two season, would remain on staff as a producer.

Johnson issued a statement confirming this news, saying, “We’ve (he and Lyonne) been germinating this next move together since writing the season two 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.”

It’s not sure if Dinklage, should he join the cast of a renewed Poker Face, will play a new character or another Charlie Cale, but Johnson’s comment does seem to indicate that, like James Bond or the Doctor in Doctor Who, it will be a case of multiple actors playing the same character.

As for why Peacock canned the critically-praised show, there’s not much of a mystery: the show’s second season ratings underperformed compared to the show’s breakout first season, even though it did well compared to many of Peacock’s other original programs. But the show wasn’t an NBC/Universal studio show, and with its high-profile list of guest stars and high production values it wasn’t cheap.

Poker Face premiered in January of 2023, with ten episodes. A second season premiered in May of this year, wrapping up in July. The second season finale ended with a fake “to be continued” font, only to keep going with a season wrap-up that could serve as a launch to a third season, or as a semi-satisfying show finale.
