Season 1 stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun will serve as executive producers, but it’s not clear at this time if the actors — who each won Emmys for their performances in Season 1 — will be seen in Season 2. Since it’s an anthology series, their onscreen returns are unlikely, but not impossible.  Season 1 focused on the feud between Wong’s Amy and Yeun’s Danny, two individuals who become entwined after a road rage incident. Season 2 is going to shift focus from Amy and Danny to two feuding couples.
