The Emmy nominee, who developed the project with producer Rian Johnson, also wrote and directed an episode in the first season.
On the Peacock show, Lyonne brings to life Charlie Cale, an accidental sleuth who has the innate ability to tell when someone is lying, a talent she puts to use while traveling across the United States, avoiding a wronged casino owner. The show, created by Hollywood whodunit king Rian Johnson, adopts a retro case-of-the-week structure that Lyonne found gratifying after noting how viewers experienced the binge model with her Netflix series.
Beyond her dedication to how the show was created — she also wrote and directed an episode that features guest stars Nick Nolte and Cherry Jones — Lyonne identifies with Charlie’s quest for the truth. “As a human being, I’m miffed that we put so much importance on things that are meaningless and so little importance on the things that actually matter about the human experience. I think that’s something I really have in common with Charlie,” says Lyonne.
The Emmy nomination also means a lot to Lyonne given the context of her relationship with Johnson, with whom she developed the project since its inception. They have a “unique connection,” she says, adding, “I think that’s so rare in the arts that you find a moment in time when two people are really just inspired by each other.”
But she had another person in mind as her date for the ceremony. In fact, on the morning of nominations Lyonne asked Johnson if his wife, the film historian Karina Longworth, could accompany her. After all, her fandom of Longworth, the host of the podcast, is how she and Johnson initially connected. “I love them both very much,” Lyonne says.This story first appeared in an August stand-alone issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
