The Emmy-winning show, which premiered its first season in 2021, follows the complex relationship between comedian Deborah and comedy writer Ava, who come from two very different generations.
In the new teaser, which is set to the tune ofElton John’s “I’m Still Standing," Deborah is seen stepping out of a glamorous car and walking into a luxurious building before Hannah yells, “Sorry, can you hold the door,” as she runs towards an elevator.
To their surprise, Deborah and Ava bump into each other in the elevator leaving the pair speechless.
Elsewhere in the teaser, Deborah shows off her moves on the dance floor, while Ava appears to mistakenly slam her car into the back of a bus. Fans also catch a glimpse of Damien (Mark Indelicato) as he runs down an airport runway,

“Oh I thought everybody was they now,” Deborah yells, before Ava shoots back, “That’s a different thing!”
