The forthcoming Season 2 of Fox animated series Duncanville has upped Rashida Jones, Multi-platinum selling recording artist Wiz Khalifa, and Joy Osmanski to series regulars. The series, created by Mike Scully, Julie Scully and Amy Poehler, is currently in production of its sophomore season, slated to premiere in 2021.

The comedy centers around the life of Duncan, a spectacularly average 15-year old boy (voiced by Poehler), and the people in his world. Duncan can see adulthood on the horizon: money, freedom, cars, girls — but the reality is more like: always being broke, driving with your mom sitting shotgun and babysitting your little sister. He’s not exceptional, but he has a wild imagination in which he’s never anything less than amazing.
