Poker Face Season 2 Adds Method Man, Awkwafina, Simon Rex to Cast


The beloved Natasha Lyonne comedy Poker Face will be playing with even more of a stacked deck in its second season.

Peacock announced today that Method Man, Awkwafina, Simon Rex, and Corey Hawkins will be joining the cast for the show’s sophomore outing.

In other words, the series will continue to rival Elsbeth and SNL in terms of big-name guest stars.

Though best known for his work with the Wu-Tang Clan, Method Man is no stranger to the world of acting.

In addition to his performances in films like How High and Garden State, he also appeared in 13 episodes of HBO’s The Wire, considered by many to be the finest show in recent TV history.

The legendary rapper is currently a regular on Power Book II: Ghost.

As for Awkwafina, in addition to her signature series, Awkwafina is Nora From Queens, she also starred in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and she’ll appear in the upcoming season of Black Mirror.

Rex is an industry vet who made a comeback with his stellar performance in the 2021 film Red Rocket, and Hawkins is best known for his role in Straight Outta Compton.

Fun fact: The guy who played Dr. Dre and attended Julliard is the only member of this quartet who hasn’t released a hip hop single!

The latest additions to Poker Face Season 2 will join a lengthy list of previously announced guest stars, including (deep breath!):

Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, Kumail Nanjiani, Sherry Cola, Kevin Corrigan, Ben Marshall, Kathrine Narducci, and Cynthia Erivo.

Oh, you want more? How about BJ Novak, Margo Martindale, John Mulaney, Ego Nwodim, and Sam Richardson?

Yep. This show doesn’t mess around when it comes to A-list murderers and stiffs.

Sure, Elsbeth might have more of a bubbly personality, but clearly, Charlie Cale rubs shoulders with just as many big-name suspects.

No premiere date has been announced for Poker Face Season 2.
