\n\tPeter Dinklage<\/a> is at the Sundance Film Festival<\/a> to promote The Shitheads<\/a>, a drug-fueled road trip comedy directed by Macon Blair.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut The Station Agent star also has an eye on the small screen and really wants to make a third season of Poker Face<\/a> with Rian Johnson.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline broke the news in November that Peacock had decided not to renew the crime series<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere has been talk of it landing at HBO<\/a> and Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max Content, admitted at the end of last year that it had had conversations<\/a> about the move.<\/p>\n

\n\tDinklage, who starred in HBO\u2019s Game of Thrones, told Deadline that he\u2019s been discussing it with Johnson. \u201cIt\u2019s in the works,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat I hear is that it\u2019s just hard to take it from one home to put it in another. It\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe joked that they can change the name of the show to \u201cRoulette Face\u201d if needed.<\/p>\n

\n\tPoker 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 \u201cb*llshit\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 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.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn December, Lyonne, who would remain an exec producer on the show, told Deadline<\/a>, \u201cI love Dinklage, I love Rian, and we\u2019ll see what happens. I could pop back up. I really need a few years; if I don\u2019t make a movie before I die, I\u2019ll be very bummed out. So let me just get one feature in the can, and we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series is produced by Johnson\u2019s T-Street Productions and MRC Television with Lyonne\u2019s Animal Pictures. Johnson, Lyonne, Ram Bergman exec produce alongside Tony Tost, Nena Rodrigue, Adam Arkin, Nora Zuckerman, Lilla Zuckerman and Iain MacDonald.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peter Dinklage is at the Sundance Film Festival to promote The Shitheads, a drug-fueled road trip comedy directed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":716812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,2308,214253,40598,195355,214254,16,15],"class_list":["post-716811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-hbo","tag-peter-dinklage","tag-poker-face","tag-sundance-film-festival","tag-the-shitheads","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115948211830629395","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
