Forget a poker face—these celebs were all smiles on the red carpet.
The season two premiere of Poker Face, which took place May 1 at the Hollywood Legion Theater in Los Angeles, featured appearances from Justin Theroux, Kumail Nanjiani, Fred Armisen and more.
Theroux stunned on the red carpet, wearing an all-black suit over a white-and-black striped button down shirt, while Nanjiani donned a lavender suit.
Also spotted was Melanie Lynskey, who turned heads in a black satin dress with a black cropped suit jacket. The Yellowjackets star’s husband Jason Ritter stood by her side while sporting a gray suit and striped tie.
The star-studded event celebrated the upcoming second season of the series on Peacock. The first three episodes will hit the streamer on May 8, while the remaining nine one-hour episodes will air weekly on Thursdays.
The comedy series stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie, a character with an exceptional ability to see through lies who takes on a new mystery to solve each week.
A stacked lineup of guest stars has been announced for the upcoming season, including The Office‘s B.J. Novak, Crazy Rich Asian‘s Awkwafina, Wicked‘s Cynthia Erivo, St. Denis Medical‘s David Alan Grier and more.
The first season of the series, directed by Rian Johnson of Knives Out and Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, also featured prominent guest stars, including The Brutalist‘s Adrien Brody, American Horror Story‘s ChloëSevigny and 500 Days of Summer‘s Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Prior to the first season’s release, Rian and Natasha shared with E! News how the series came to be.
“Never underestimate the power of a good dinner conversation between friends,” the pair shared in a statement. “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.”
