Netflix has debuted the first official teaser trailer for Season 2 of its quirky romantic comedy series, Love. The brief 30-second clip shows the beloved Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust) getting themselves into a whole mess of trouble once again.
The Netflix original series was created by co-star Rust, in addition to Judd Apatow and Lesley Arfin (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), and first premiered in February 2016. Aside from the typical shenanigans, it looks like Season 2 will feature a number of cameos from David Spade to Daniel Stern. You can catch up on Season 1, which is now streaming, before all 12 episodes of the forthcoming sophomore season premieres on March 10.
