Hamilton Schmamilton! Below, catch a sneak peek of Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda in DIFFICULT PEOPLE. Season two of the Hulu original series will premiere on Tuesday, July 12th.

In season two, Julie and Billy continue to search for fame, to diminishing returns. Billy embarks on THE JOURNEY of finding a boyfriend while Julie tries her best to avoid a deeper commitment to Arthur and not become her mother. Julie and Billy continue to have contempt for the word around them while remaining loyal to each other, and, as they get in their own way, learn no lessons.

Season two will include a 10-episode order. Following a critically acclaimed debut, the breakout comedy series from executive producers Amy Poehler (Parks & Recreation), Dave Becky (Louie), Tony Hernandez of Jax Media and showrunner Scott King will return for a second season with creator, star and executive producer Julie Klausner and star Billy Eichner. The series is produced by Universal Cable Productions (UCP), a division of NBCUniversal.

Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for the musical In the Heights, which opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in March 2008. His written work for the show earned him numerous accolades, including the 2008 Tony Award for Best Original Score and the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Miranda's performance in the show's lead role of Usnavi earned him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical.

Miranda is a 2015 recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Award. HAMILTON recently received the 2016 Edward KENNEDY Prize for Drama along with 11 Tony Awards.
