Peacock is going all in on the dream team of Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne. In a press release, the NBCUniversal streaming platform announced it’s given a straight-to-series, 10-episode order to Poker Face, which is the first-ever TV series developed by Johnson. Lyonne will headline the show, solving crimes in the new hour-long mystery drama. The Orange Is The New Black alum co-created and stars in Netflix’s time-loop dramedy Russian Doll, which began production recently on its second season. Lyonne was also co-starred in the Golden Globes- and Oscar-nominated United States Vs. Billie Holiday.
