‘Poker Face’ Boss on That Finale Shocker, Subverting Charlie’s Lie-Detection and Setting Up a Potential Season 3
'Poker Face' showrunner Tony Tost on how that killer character fools Charlie's lie detection and Season 2 overall — and talks Season 3 potential.
Every episode leading up to the Season 2 finale of “Poker Face” — Rian Johnson’s murder-of-the-week love letter to “Columbo” — has relied on Charlie Cale’s (Natasha Lyonne) unrivaled ability to sniff out lies to solve any mystery. But in a surprising turn of events in the latest episode, “The End of the Road,” Charlie finds herself outsmarted at her own game by close friend Alex (Patti Harrison), who has been the Iguana killer all along. Below, Tost breaks down how Charlie’s deep connection with people plays into the final twist, what Lyonne brought to the table as the episode’s director, and where a potential Season 3 might be headed after the betrayal.
