Poker Night in America (PNIA), the popular late-night cash-game broadcast that debuted in 2014, will soon offer new content in the form of poker play and lifestyle from a new Las Vegas poker house where a new poker production, titled "Studio 52", will be filmed.
Details are scarce on the in-development content, though parent company Rush Street Productions has posted a teaser video on its official @PokerNightTV Twitter account.
The brief video offers a mini-tour of the spacious, 10,000-square-foot Las Vegas "mansion" that's been converted into a poker-themed reality-TV set, including at least one poker table where some star-studded action appears destined to occur.
Well-known poker figures Lexy Gavin-Mather, Phil Galfond, and Lon McEachern appear in the Studio 52 promo video. In a separate Tweet, Gavin-Mather also mentioned her husband, Bob Mather, fellow pro Caitlin Comesky, and PNIA founder Todd Anderson in a separate Tweet offering another brief video and a few still images.
Rush Street Productions and Poker Night in America promise that additional details about the project will be published on May 15. One possible scenario, given the Studio 52 house's likely off-Strip locale, is that it will be framed as poker's version of an off-Broadway destination, an invite-only scene designed to produce a different flavor of poker content throughout the busy Vegas poker summer, and perhaps beyond.
