The Peacock original series Poker Face has put out a casting call in the Hudson Valley area that sheds some light on what the series might hold in store.

An Instagram post from the Hudson Valley Film Commission reads: "Grant Wilfley Casting Inc. is seeking Hudson Valley locals to work as background in the Peacock series POKER FACE, created by Rian Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne. Film is based in Newburgh / Fishkill area."

So far, the details of the new series Poker Face have been kept largely under wraps. All we really know about it is that the show is billed as a one-hour mystery series and Peacock is giving it a ten episode run to start with. Other than that, we know that Natasha Lyonne has been cast as the lead, Rian Johnson is involved behind the scenes, and the showrunners will be Nora and Lilla Zuckerman.

Lyonne is best known for her roles in Orange is the New Black and Orphan Black — or American Pie, if you were a teenage boy in the early-noughties.
