Rian Johnson’s Poker Face is already an on-screen parade of excellent guest star turns. The writer and director’s Columbo-inspired “howdunit” sees Natasha Lyonne piecing together the clues of a murder, which we often see committed by an A-lister at the top of the episode.

It’s no surprise then that the Peacock show’s PaleyFest L.A. panel on March 29 would include an equally impressive lineup of onstage talent, including a few guests from the show’s upcoming second season that were just added to the event: actors Melanie Lynskey and Haley Joel Osment, rapper GaTa and moderator Aidy Bryant.

That’s in addition to the previously announced slate of talent scheduled for the Dolby Theatre panel, including creator Rian Johnson, star (and executive producer, writer and director) Natasha Lyonne, season two guest star Kumail Nanjiani and season one guest star and season two director Clea DuVall.

Maybe most excitingly for fans of ’90s cinema, with Lyonne, Lynskey and DuVall all set to appear onstage together that means we’ll be getting a full-blown reunion for cult-favorite lesbian film But I’m a Cheerleader.

Tickets are already on sale for the event, which includes an advance screening and panel conversation and kicks off on Saturday, March 29 at 2pm. The cheapest available seats as of the time of publication start at $67.25.

The Poker Face panel coincides with the Paley Center for Media’s annual weeklong festival of TV show premiere and clips screenings, paired with a conversation with some of the cast and creators from each. The rest of this March’s lineup includes Severance, Cobra Kai, Agatha All Along, Matlock, The Handmaid’s Tale, Hacks and a trio of Amy Sherman-Palladino shows: Gilmore Girls, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and the upcoming Étoile. Other announced guests include Adam Scott, Ben Stiller, Ralph Macchio, Kathryn Hahn, Kathy Bates, Elisabeth Moss, Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, Lauren Graham, Rachel Brosnahan and many, many more.
