Peter Dinklage is at the Sundance Film Festival to promote The Shitheads, a drug-fueled road trip comedy directed by Macon Blair.

But The Station Agent star also has an eye on the small screen and really wants to make a third season of Poker Face with Rian Johnson.

Deadline broke the news in November that Peacock had decided not to renew the crime series for a third season, but that the Knives Out filmmaker was planning to reset the series with Dinklage taking over the role of crime-solving sleuth from Natasha Lynonne and setting it up at a new home.

There has been talk of it landing at HBO and Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max Content, admitted at the end of last year that it had had conversations about the move.

Dinklage, who starred in HBO’s Game of Thrones, told Deadline that he’s been discussing it with Johnson. “It’s in the works,” he said. “What I hear is that it’s just hard to take it from one home to put it in another. It’s the complicated nature of that, I believe. But Rian is a creative genius and whatever he wants to write, I would love to be a part of that.”

He joked that they can change the name of the show to “Roulette Face” if needed.

Poker Face premiered on Peacock in January 2023 and its second season launched in May 2025. It was centered around Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman who has a gift for calling out “b*llshit”.

The former casino employer went on the lam, hiding from a casino boss, traveling across the U.S. in her 1969 Plymouth Barracuda and putting her superpowers to use solving homicides everywhere she stopped.

In December, Lyonne, who would remain an exec producer on the show, told Deadline, “I love Dinklage, I love Rian, and we’ll see what happens. I could pop back up. I really need a few years; if I don’t make a movie before I die, I’ll be very bummed out. So let me just get one feature in the can, and we’ll see.”

The series is produced by Johnson’s T-Street Productions and MRC Television with Lyonne’s Animal Pictures. Johnson, Lyonne, Ram Bergman exec produce alongside Tony Tost, Nena Rodrigue, Adam Arkin, Nora Zuckerman, Lilla Zuckerman and Iain MacDonald.
