HBO Confirms Talks to Revive Poker Face With Peter Dinklage After Peacock Cancellation

Rian Johnson is shopping a retooled version featuring Peter Dinklage under a rotating‑lead plan.

Overview

  • HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys said the network has had conversations about a pickup but reported no deal or decision.
  • Peacock canceled the acclaimed mystery after two seasons following lower season‑two viewing minutes and high production costs, according to industry reporting.
  • Johnson described the proposed Dinklage-led iteration as a "wild swing" and emphasized that discussions remain in very early stages.
  • Natasha Lyonne will step away from playing Charlie Cale while staying on as an executive producer under the relaunch proposal.
  • Producers T‑Street and MRC are shopping the series to new outlets, with any rescue likely requiring fresh licensing terms and creative roles still to be determined.
