Andy Samberg, Fred Armisen, David Spade, Judd Apatow, Weird Al Yankovic, Jenny Slate, Judy Greer and Jason Mantzoukas will guest star in Season Two of comedian Maria Bamfords surreal Netflix comedy, Lady Dynamite, which premieres Friday, November 10th.The Lady Dynamite cast also includes Fred Melamed, Mo Collins, Mary Kay Place and Ed Begley, Jr.
In a trailer for the new installments, Saturday Night Live alum Ana Gasteyer who plays the fictionalized Bamfords hard-nosed agent hypes the season as so unbelievably inventive and groundbreaking that alt-comedy Twitter will choke on its own jizz.
Lady Dynamite, loosely based on Bamfords real life, follows the stand-up comics recovery from bipolar disorder and subsequent battle to rebuild her career from the ground-up. Gasteyers character, Karen Grisham, boasts in the clip that upcoming episodes will focus on mental illness and de-stigmatize it forever.
Season Two will explore Bamfords blooming relationship with love interest Scott (lafur Darri lafsson). Living with someone is hard, Apatow warns the comic. Its all about how you handle it. But it also promises to juggle serious subject matter with comedic wackiness: Elsewhere in the clip, Bamford and Scott engage in foreplay with power tools and dance around in hot dog costumes.
Bamford told Rolling Stone last year that her core mission for Lady Dynamite was to tell a story of a psychiatric breakdown, but also not bring it down so much.
