The series follows scrappy protagonist Charlie Cale (Lyonne), who has an uncanny ability to know when someone’s lying. Over the course of 10 episodes, Cale hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda, meeting a cast of eclectic characters and solving strange crimes along the way.

“Never underestimate the power of a good dinner conversation between friends. What started as a discussion over steak frites about detective shows and what made them such a reliable pleasure – the exploration of little worlds within each new setting, the guest stars playing killers and victims, and most importantly, a scrappy protagonist you were always ready to kick back with and see win – ultimately resulted in the creation of Charlie, the driving force behind Poker Face,” says Johnson and Lyonne in a statement.

“We invite you to follow Charlie on a cross-country road trip as she meets a rogue’s gallery of characters and avenges a new injustice each episode, armed with little more than her uncanny ability to detect lies and a genuine appreciation for her fellow humans (and the occasional dog). Now please leave the overthinking to Rian, who has masterfully crafted 10 self-contained puzzles for Charlie to solve. Just jump in the back of her ’69 Plymouth Barracuda and enjoy the ride,” they add.

By the looks of the first teaser, Johnson has cooked up another brilliantly imaginative murder mystery.
