Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from the “Poker Face” Season 1 finale, “The Hook,” now streaming on Peacock. “Poker Face” revealed more about the personal life of protagonist Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) than viewers learned throughout the first nine episode of Rian Johnson’s Peacock howdunit series, with the introduction of her sister Emily Cale (Clea DuVall) when Charlie needs a place to hide out after she’s accused of another murder.

This is when we discover that Charlie has had a rough history with her sister, and hasn’t seen her in so long that she’s never even met her young niece, Shasta.

In a show packed with A-list guest stars, filled wi good friends and longtime collaborators of Johnson and Lyonne, DuVall landed the role of the most significant person to Charlie — a person who despises her sister’s lie-detecting talent because of the effect it had on them and their family growing up — because of the emotions she could bring out in Lyonne. “For Clea and I, there’s this instant thing when you have a built-in backstory relationship that happens, we could just look at each other in that kitchen, and she just breaks my heart,” Lyonne told Variety. “For her to look at me and be disappointed in me, it’s so easy to drop into.

I just love her so much that it just becomes so much more complex in a much more organic sense. You don’t have to go hunting for it in the same way.” “Poker Face” was fortunate to get an early Season 2 renewal, but that luck means that Lyonne, Johnson and showrunners Nora and Lilla Zuckerman don’t yet know whether Emily will appear again on the series.
