Wed May 07 00:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Poker Face Season 2 Premieres with Cynthia Erivo Playing Quintuplets

**Los Angeles, CA** – Peacock’s *Poker Face* returns for its second season on May 8th, and the premiere episode promises a standout performance from Cynthia Erivo. In “The Game Is a Foot,” Erivo plays five distinct quintuplet sisters: Bebe, Cece, Delia, Amber, and Felicity. Creator and director Rian Johnson, who describes the episode as his favorite from the season, leveraged Erivo’s versatility to create a complex and comedic mystery.

The episode features Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale investigating a seemingly innocent death, even with a mob hit looming. The plot thickens when Charlie encounters the quintuplets, each with a unique personality and background, leading to humorous situations and intricate interactions. One memorable scene involves Lyonne’s character quipping about the sheer number of sisters, showcasing the episode’s lighthearted tone alongside its mystery elements.

Johnson expressed his excitement about working with Erivo, stating that she was his only choice for the role. The director’s vision involved numerous screens displaying Erivo in different character iterations, a creative choice that amused the cast and crew. This episode marks Johnson’s sole directorial contribution to Season 2, due to his simultaneous work on *Knives Out*. Despite his limited on-set presence, he remained deeply involved in the writing and editing process.

Season 2 boasts an impressive ensemble cast beyond Erivo, including John Mulaney, Awkwafina, Ben Marshall, and many more. The first three episodes will premiere on Peacock on May 8th.
