Poker Face is case-of-the-week murder mystery series led by Natasha Lyonne. She plays a casino worker Charlie Cale, who goes on a run from a sinister casino boss, and uses her special talent to detect lies to solve crimes across the United States.

Each episode features a new set of colorful characters, with Adrien Brody, Dascha Polanco, Ron Perlman, Chloë Sevigny, Brandon Micheal Hall, Judith Light, and many more in guest roles.

NBCUniversal Television and Streaming’s Susan Rovner described Poker Face as one of those rare, undeniable shows that they fell in love with from the very start, adding that the critical response has been beyond their wildest dreams.

“Working alongside the creative genius of Rian Johnson, Natasha Lyonne, and Ram Bergman, along with our partners at MRC and T-Street, has been a spectacular ride, and we can’t wait to hit the road for another season as we continue to build momentum across Peacock’s originals slate,” said Rovner in a statement.

Poker Face premiere on Peacock on January 26, and new episodes are still airing, while the season finale is set to premiere on March 9.

Even before Knives Out was released in 2019, writer and director Rian Johnson had envisioned more films starring Daniel Craig as the unconventional detective. In March last year, Netflix acquired the rights to produce two sequels, with the first due out later this year.

The streamer has now confirmed that Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will hit screens on December 23. 

While the original film took place in a Massachusetts mansion, Glass Onion is set on a private Greek island where someone winds up dead. Johnson is once again directing, while the No Time to Die actor will reprise his role as Blanc.

“I’m always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death,” Johnson said. “This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’ There’s got to be some good glass songs. I was like, ‘Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?’ The first thing that came up, because I’m a huge Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion.’”

Craig will be joined by an all-star ensemble cast comprising of Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr, Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, and Kathryn Hahn.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is scheduled to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

TIFF is the perfect place to share this highly-anticipated film with the world because Knives Out also had its world premiere at this festival in 2019. The official premiere date of its sequel hasn’t been announced yet, but TIFF is taking place from September 8-18.

Glass Onion will see Daniel Craig return as the gentleman detective Benoit Blanc and head to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects. The star-studded ensemble now includes Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is set to premiere on Netflix around the holidays after the streaming giant acquired the right for two sequels for a reported sum of $469 million.  Senior executives discussed the possibility of giving this film a 45-day window in theaters before releasing it online.

Jamil (The Good Place) and Meadows (Saturday Night Live) are among five new cast members added to the star-studded cast. Nicholas Cirillo (Outer Banks, Jesus Revolution), Audrey Corsa (All Rise, Dear Edward), and Niall Cunningham (And Just Like That, Life in Pieces) are also set to join the Peacock series.

In addition to Lyonne, Poker Face will also star Adrien Brody, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, Chloë Sevigny, Dascha Polanco, and Lil Rel Howery, among others.

The series received a ten-episode order and it’s expected to follow a procedural format, with a new mystery being solved in each episode. Knives Out director Rian Johnson serves as creator, writer, director, and executive producer, and he’s looking forward to joining forces with Lyonne.

“I’m very excited to dig into the type of fun, character-driven, case-of-the-week mystery goodness I grew up watching. It’s my happy place. Having Natasha as a partner in crime is a dream, and we’ve found the perfect home at Peacock,” said Johnson in a statement.

Johnson took to social media to confirm that Benoit Blanc’s next case will be called Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and explained how he came up with this cryptic title.

“When I made Knives Out, that’s what excited me about the prospect of making more mysteries with Daniel as Benoit Blanc – to emulate Christie and have every film be like a whole new book, with its own tone, ambition, reason for being… and (ta dah) title,” wrote Johnson on Twitter.

Not much is known about the plot of the upcoming movie, but it will see Daniel Craig’s detective extraordinaire Benoit Blanc travel to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects. In addition to Craig, Glass Onion will also star Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.

The third Knives Out movie is also in the works, and Netflix reportedly cashed out $450 million for two sequels.

The series will be Johnson’s first time writing a TV series. He previously directed episodes of Breaking Bad and Terriers. Johnson is best known for his work in Knives Out, Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, Brick, and Looper. 

“I’m very excited to dig into the type of fun, character driven, case-of-the-week mystery goodness I grew up watching,” Johnson said. “It’s my happy place. Having Natasha as a partner in crime is a dream, and we’ve found the perfect home at Peacock.”

Lyonne co-created, stars in, and executive produces Russian Doll, which just began production of Season 2. She’s known for her role in Orange Is the New Black and is currently starring in United Stated vs Billie Holiday.

This mode will change the TV settings automatically to the specifications of color, contrast, aspect ratio and frame rates the creators specified. In order to develop this mode 400 filmmakers, directors and cinematographers provided input to UHDA. The Alliance also reached out to the Directors Guild of America, American Society of Cinematographers, American Cinema Editors and Martin Scorsese’s The Film Foundation.

Rian Johnson, director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi said that “many TVs ship with motion smoothing (and other post-processing settings) as a default.” He said that “Filmmaker Mode offers a single button that lines up the settings so it works for the benefit of the movie and not against it.” So, of you love movies, Filmmaker Mode will make your movies look much better.

Johnson’s new movie revolves around a family gathering that goes wrong after the patriarch mysteriously dies. Curious detective Benoit Blanc ends up invading their household and goes an extra mile to solve this murder mystery.

Daniel Craig will take on the lead role in this intriguing project. He’ll be in a pretty good company — the rest of the cast consists of Hollywood A-listers Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, and Katherine Langford.

Johnson’s modern take on Agatha Christie’s classic story will hit the theaters on November 27th, and he had a great time working with his most star-studded cast to date.

“They were all playing off of each other and they were all just having so much fun that it was infectious. I think it comes through. We have a couple really gang buster scenes where the whole family gets to go at each other’s throats. It’s really something to see,” said Rian Johnson while discussing Knives Out in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.

The upcoming project will be directed by Rian Johnson and it will give him a nice little break from the galaxy far, far away. Critically acclaimed filmmaker wrote the script over the summer but had a hard time picturing the right person in the lead role. His problem was solved once he’s heard Daniel Craig finally has some free time on his hands.

“I have been a huge fan and always wanted to work with Craig… He’s an actor of extraordinary range, and we are looking forward to the fun of finding that modern detective and collaborating with Daniel on creating a new Poirot,” said Johnson.

Knives Out is partially inspired by his love of Agatha Christie murder mysteries and follows a detective trying to solve a violent crime in a contemporary setting. Johnson will produce the movie alongside Ram Bergman. They’ve been working together since 2005 when the director rose to prominence thanks to his brilliant debut Brick. The duo will seek distributors for Knives Out at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival.

“I’m looking at everything right now,” Johnson said during his interview with Digital Spy. “I’m honestly just in this very nice ‘OK, what is this thing going to be?’ phase. Really, the only goal I have is to think about how Star Wars made me feel as a kid. And that’s it. I’m trying to capture: what is that, if it’s not iconography that we recognize, necessarily, from the original trilogy? What captures that spirit? What can be that for a kid who’s never heard of Star Wars? It’s getting back to the very fundamental questions of what makes this what it is.”

The 44-year-old director previously revealed that he has already started working on the project, and wants to create the entire story of the trilogy before starting with the first installment.

“I’m gonna come up with the whole thing, the idea is to come up with one big story, but I know I’m gonna write and direct at least the first one,” he said during a recent interview with Collider.

Besides the Rian Johnson’s trilogy, Disney attached Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss to also create a trilogy of movies.
