Season two of LAUREN, starring Troian Bellisario and Jennifer Beals, premieres tonight, Friday, May 3 on WIGS (www.youtube.com/wigs). In the first four episodes, viewers get a voyeuristic look at the night of Lauren Weil's attack (Bellisario). They are also taken on an emotional journey via flashback, as Major Jo Stone (Beals) remembers painful events in her past that allow her to connect with Lauren on a personal level. Get a sneak peek of tonight's episode below!

Guests stars include Sarah Jones ("Vegas," "Alcatraz"), who reprises her role as a military veteran from WIGS seriesKENDRA and Raymond Cruz ("Major Crimes") as Sergeant Major Martinez.

It also stars Bradley Whitford ("The West Wing"), Sean Harmon ("NCIS"), Mykelti Williamson ("Justified," "24," "Forrest Gump") and Justine Ezarik (YouTube channel iJustine).
