Katie Holmes has been thriving in her empty nest era, having taken on a number of projects to keep busy following daughter Suri's departure from the family home.
And now, the Dawson's Creek star is set to return to the TV in an exciting new role, which will show a very different side to her.
The star took to Instagram this week to post a preview of her upcoming appearance in Poker Face 2, which will be released this spring.
Katie is one of the many guest stars in the new season, alongside Cynthia Erivos and John Mulaney. The news was first announced in 2024, and at the time, Katie posted a message expressing her excitement on social media.
She shared a press release about the new series, and wrote in the caption: "Thank you for having me!" while tagging Poker Face's main star Natasha Lyonne.
She also wrote a message over the image: "What a thrill!"

"Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I'm really proud of her and I'm happy. I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It's exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that."
Suri has come back to New York City on several occasions, including during the holidays and to watch Katie in Our Town on more than one occasion.
