We’ve got another 12 episodes of Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) on the way, with the second season of ‘Poker Face’ starting this May. If you’re new to the series or want to continue watching as Charlie navigates new crimes thrown her way on her road trip, this guide shares how and where to watch ‘Poker Face’ season two and previous seasons for free from anywhere.
While the series is available on a few streaming platforms, geoblocks might get in your way if you’re not in the correct region. That’s where a VPN comes in, though. You can use one of the best VPNs, such as NordVPN, to spoof your location and access the service that you want. Keep reading for a step-by-step guide and information on where you can watch both seasons of the series.
Where Is Poker Face Season 2 Streaming?
Season two of ‘Poker Face’ will begin May 8 on Peacock in the U.S., Now in the U.K., Stan in Australia and TVNZ+ in New Zealand. The best part is that TVNZ+ is a free service. That said, it is geoblocked, so if you’re not in the country, you won’t be able to access it. A VPN can help you skirt round the blocks, though, and we show you how further down.
We’ve provided a handy table showing everywhere that the series is available below. Note that all of the platforms that mention two seasons will air season two from May 8, 2025. Both CBC Gem (Canada) and Amazon Prime Video (Austria and Germany) have the first season, but we’re not sure when the second season will arrive there.

| 🇳🇿 N. Zealand | TVNZ+ | 2 | Free |
| 🇺🇸 USA | 2 | From $7.99 per month | |

How to Watch Poker Face Free: Online With a VPN
In this section, we’ve provided steps on how to watch ‘Poker Face’ season two for free on TVNZ+ — which also has season 1 if you haven’t watched it yet. If you want to watch the series on a different platform, you can use similar steps.
For a true cost-free experience, you can use a free VPN with New Zealand servers, like TunnelBear — though it has a 2GB free data cap. The better option is to pay for a premium VPN and ask for a VPN refund within 30 days; we’ve never had any issues getting our money back with NordVPN.

Subscribe to one of NordVPN’s plans — the NordVPN two-year plan offers the best discount. There’s also a 30-day money-back guarantee in place.

Choose which device you want to stream on and install the VPN app. Once it’s installed, open the app and log in to your account.

The Best VPNs to Stream Poker Face Online
When it comes to streaming, you need a VPN that’s suitable for the task. Not all VPNs can unblock streaming platforms or have fast enough speeds to ensure you have an uninterrupted stream. We’ve shortlisted the best streaming VPNs for the job below.
- NordVPN — It has some of the fastest average speeds and top unblocking ability. Thousands of servers are available and all can be found in a neat, interactive map. The two-year plan offers the best value and there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee to fall back on. Read our NordVPN review for more details.
- Surfshark — A cheap VPN with all the bells and whistles needed for a decent streaming experience. It also allows unlimited connections. Choose the two-year plan for the best price — it’s covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Learn more in our Surfshark review.
- ExpressVPN — A great VPN overall with excellent speeds and unblocking ability. Its simple app is great if you’re a beginner and, while it is more expensive, longer plans offer a discount and include a 30-day money-back guarantee. Read our ExpressVPN review for a better look.
Best Free VPN to Stream Poker Face
If you’re looking at using a free VPN, make sure you choose a decent one, such as PrivadoVPN, which is our top free streaming VPN recommendation. PrivadoVPN’s free plan comes with 10GB of uncapped data each month (once you hit the limit your speeds will be slower). That said, PrivadoVPN does not have any free New Zealand servers for watching ‘Poker Face’ on TVNZ+.
If you want a free VPN with servers in New Zealand, your best bet is TunnelBear. Keep in mind, though, that TunnelBear has a 2GB per month data limit, which won’t give you much streaming time. It’s also not the greatest at accessing services, though we did test it with TVNZ+ and it worked fine.
You can read both our PrivadoVPN review and TunnelBear review for a better look at each service. However, if you want unlimited data and New Zealand servers, it’s best to utilize a premium VPN’s money-back guarantee, such as NordVPN’s.
