While on the run, Charlie meets different types of interesting people and helps solve crimes wherever she goes, using her uncanny ability to tell if someone is lying. By the end of the season, Charlie is confronted by her old boss, who she is later framed for killing after he was shot dead, which leads her to go on the run once more.
Nora (Haven, Prodigal Son) and Lilla Zuckerman (Suits, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) served as showrunners for the first season and have stepped down to pursue other projects. Tony Tost (Longmire, Americana) will now be serving as showrunner for the second season of the series.
Poker Face has yet to reveal an official premiere date for the second season, but many speculate that the series will be back in 2025.
