Dascha Polanco

Following only a couple days behind the latest announcement, Rian Johnson's upcoming new project has added two more cast members to its lineup. According to a report from Deadline, Dascha Polanco and Lil Rel Howery are set to join Poker Face, a TV series coming soon to Peacock. They join the previously announced Natasha Lyonne, Adrien Brody, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, Danielle Macdonald, Benjamin Bratt, and David Castañeda.

In this age of peak television where just about every series requires showrunners to oversee multi-season story arcs (and viewers to watch episodes the moment they go live for fear of social-media spoilers), it is a balm to the old-school soul to know that Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne are out here making a throwback case-of-the-week series for Peacock.
