Having found true love in the town of Schmigadoon, season two of "Schmigadoon!" will find Josh (Keegan-Michael Key) and Melissa (Cecily Strong) in Schmicago, the reimagined world of '60s and '70s musicals.

In episode two, "Doorway to Where," As Josh makes a new friend in jail, Melissa hires a lawyer and goes undercover to clear his name.

Watch the new preview of episode one below, in which Martin Short returns as a mysterious Leprechaun to pass on a message to Josh and Melissa. The message comes in the form of a song, which bares a striking resemblance to "All That Jazz" from Chicago.
