It looks like Peacock's Poker Face Season 2 is all set for an Orange Is The New Black reunion, as lead actress Natasha Lyonne will be joined by her fellow Orange is the New Black stars Taylor Schilling and Adrienne C. Moore in Season 2.

Lyonne, who played Nicky Nichols in Orange Is The New Black, starred as Charlie Cane in Poker Face Season 1 in January 2023. Soon, following the show's success, it was picked for another season.

With many new faces set to join Poker Face Season 2, an exclusive report by Deadline confirmed that Lyonne's former co-stars are also set to join the sophomore season. There is no information about their characters as of yet.

The critically acclaimed series Orange Is The New Black concluded on Netflix in 2019. It was led by Schilling's Piper Chapman and Moore's Cynthia "Black Cindy" Hayes was also a character, along with Lyonne's Nicky.

After the show's conclusion, fans will likely look forward to this mini OITNB reunion in Poker Face Season 2.
