But after the mysterious disappearance of his best friend and former Lumon employee Petey, he teams up with new hire Helly (Lower) and other coworkers Dylan (Zach Cherry) and Irving (John Turturro) to uncover the company’s web of conspiracies.

The series also stars Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus andChristopher Walken.

Scott, 51, previously credited Stiller’s role in the casting process,telling PEOPLE in April 2024, “One of Ben Stiller’s superpowers, I think, is casting and finding the right people for roles. He’s really, really good at it.” Adding, “Our core cast is unbelievable already, but we have some just great people coming in for season two, that I can’t wait for everyone to see.”
