Quirky detective show Poker Face has received a premiere date for season 2.
Created by Knives Out and Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Rian Johnson, the series follows a woman with an uncanny knack for telling when people are lying.
She travels across the United States on the run from a mob boss. People die in mysterious ways in every place she visits, and she finds herself unable to resist solving each case.
The newly-released trailer reveals that season 2 will begin in the US on May 8 on streaming service Peacock, but there's no UK date yet, sadly.

In Digital Spy's review, we praised it for how, like Knives Out, it "take[s] familiar fare — like a murder mystery — and inject[s] it with wit, intelligence and the unexpected, making something that's both traditional and completely original".
We also wrote: "Mostly it's a fantastic showcase for Natasha Lyonne's familiar potty-mouthed, cynical-but-genial persona," our review reads, "but it's more than that. It reminds us that episodic TV can be great!"
Poker Face season 2 begins on May 8 on Peacock in the US. The show airs on Sky Atlantic and streams on Sky Go/NOW in the UK, but a season 2 premiere date hasn't been confirmed yet.
