Acclaimed filmmaker Rian Johnson, the mind behind hits like Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper, and Knives Out, is bringing his talents to television and he has Russian Doll co-creator/star Natasha Lyonne coming along for the ride. NBCUniversal announced today that Peacock has given a straight to series order for Poker Face, a new hour-long mystery series which has Johnson attached as creator, writer and director, with Lyonne set to star. The show has been given a 10-episode order by the streaming service and will be produced by T-Street and MRC Television. Lyonne will also serve as an executive producer via her Animal Pictures banner along with Co-Executive Producers Maya Rudolph and Danielle Renfrew Behrens.
