It was reported last month that Peacock had decided not to renew Poker Face for a third season<\/a>, bringing an end to the murder-mystery series starring Natasha Lyonne. While many fans were shocked, Lyonne told THR<\/a> she thought the writing was on the wall after the second season finale, which was titled The End of the Road.<\/p>\n

Natasha Lyonne on Poker Face Ending<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t shocked! Isn\u2019t that funny, how that happens? \u2018News to some people,\u2019 is what it should say!\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful that Rian and I directed a finale last season called \u201cThe End of the Road\u201d \u2014 that should have been a little clue, folks. We literally threw the car off a cliff!\u201c<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s a chance the series could be shopped to other networks with Peter Dinklage taking over the leading role of Charlie Cale. If that happens, Lyonne will be watching. \u201cI adore [Peter] Dinklage,\u201d she said. \u201cGame of Thrones is obviously one of my favorite shows, but Peter is also one of my favorite people of all time. It\u2019s kind of all good news.\u201c<\/p>\n

Although we may have seen the last of Lyonne\u2019s Charlie Cale, she isn\u2019t ruling out a possible \u201cgood old-fashioned, made-for-TV movie just like Columbo would like to. Stranger things have happened!\u201c<\/p>\n

Leaving Poker Face Will Give Lyonne Time to Direct<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, baby\u2019s gotta direct some movies,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been talking about it long enough. I\u2019m very grateful I got to direct TV and write so much of it. I love what I do very much; I\u2019m so grateful that I get to do it. And the unfortunate thing about a human timeline is that, much like the sand in the hourglass, these are the days of our lives. I gotta get these movies under my belt.\u201c<\/p>\n

It was recently announced that Lyonne is set to write, direct, and produce Bambo, a movie which follows a Brooklyn-born boxing-promoter father in the \u201980s who tries and fails to become the next Don King, and \u201ctakes his kid daughter along for the hurly burly ride of tax evasion, cocaine, race cars, lost dreams and heartbreak.\u201c<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Poker Face About?<\/p>\n

Poker Face\u00a0\u201cis a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha Lyonne\u2019s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can\u2019t help but solve.\u201c<\/p>\n
