No, you aren't seeing triple! That's Tony winner Cynthia Erivo as three of the six identical siblings she is set to play on season 2 of Peacock's crime dramedy Poker Face.

Set to return on an unannounced date this spring, Rian Johnson's Poker Face is a murder-of-the-week mystery series starring Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a human lie detector who can't help but unravel a series of mysterious deaths.
