LOVE Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black’s Natasha Lyonne? Make a TV date for her new comedic thriller Poker Face, which hits South African screens at 9pm on Wednesday, 2 August on M-Net, DStv Channel 101.
The Emmy-award winning actress will be on the case in this Peacock original mystery from Academy Award nominated director Rian Johnson, who’s best known for directing Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the Knives Out films. Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, a casino worker with an extraordinary ability to detect lies. After a close friend is murdered, she goes on the run across the United States, meeting colourful characters and solving strange crimes along the way.
Variety calls it a “clever, winning mystery throwback” and “one of the strongest series yet to launch on Peacock”, while The Guardian noted “Lyonne is as mesmerising as ever.”
Viewers will want to tune in to unravel a new mystery every week, as well as spot the stars with guest performances by the likes of Adrien Brody, Chloë Sevigny, and Ellen Barkin. Benjamin Bratt (Law & Order) and The Big Bang Theory’s Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) are series regulars.
Poker Face will be available on DStv Premium on M-Net (Channel 101) every Wednesday at 9pm from 2 August, as well as live-streamed on the DStv App, and is also available on DStv Catch Up after broadcast. Visit the M-Net Website and join the conversation on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
