The series returns to find Jonathan’s second novel completed (and rejected), so he’s augmenting his income by moonlighting as a creative-writing teacher, while also taking on some desperate new clients — ranging from a kinky cop to the publishing rival of his sexagenarian pal. Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis are also back.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of Season 2:

After his girlfriend leaves him because he drinks too much white wine and smokes too much pot, struggling writer Jonathan Ames (Schwartzman) decides on a whim to post an ad on craigslist offering his services as a private detective — something he has neither the remotest expertise nor interest in outside of the detective novels he reads. But someone responds to his ad, and Jonathan has nothing better to do, so he meets with the prospective client. After he helps the woman find her missing sister, Jonathan gets the itch for detective work, but always seems to have a difficult time keeping his own personal problems out of his clients’ situations. Fans of Schwartzman’s offbeat work in Wes Anderson films will love him here. But the real highlights of Bored to Death might be Galifianakis (The Hangover) as Jonathan’s curmudgeonly comic-book writer friend, and Danson in an unusual role as Jonathan’s magazine editor boss who’s constantly interfering in Jonathan’s newfound venture.
