Netflix’s Chuck Lorre comedy “The Kominsky Method” has added a trio of recurring guest stars for its second season.
Jane Seymour, Jacqueline Bisset and Paul Reiser will appear in the second season of the Golden Globe-winning series as recurring guest stars, joining series stars Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin in multiple episodes each.
Seymour will play “Madelyn,” a seventy-something, well-to-do woman who Norman (Arkin) had a mad love affair with in the Sixties before he met his wife. Fifty years later, they meet and start again.
Bisset will play “Gabrielle,” Mindy’s (Sarah Baker) mom and Sandy’s (Douglas) French ex-wife who delights in still being able to push the buttons of her ex-husband, while Reiser will play “Martin,” a sixty-something high school teacher who gets romantically involved with Mindy.
The comedy about a former Hollywood star and his longtime agent navigating their later years in Los Angeles is currently in production on an eight-episode second season to premiere on the streamer later this year. In addition to Arkin and Douglas, Sarah Barker and Nancy Travis are also returning as series regulars.
Lorre, Al Higgins and Douglas serve as executive producers on the series from Chuck Lorre Productions and Warner Bros. Television.

Warner Bros.
Snub: Olivia Colman took home her first Golden Globe this year for her work in Yorgos Lanthimos's period dramedy "The Favourite," but her "bitches"Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone, both nominated in the supporting category, were bested by "If Beale Street Could Talk" scene-stealer Regina King.
Fox Searchlight
Snub: NBC's "The Good Place" remains one of the most critically acclaimed comedies on the air right now, but awards recognition remains elusive for the afterlife comedy, with both Kristen Bell and the series as a whole missing out on a trophy on Sunday.
NBC
Surprise: Glenn Close took home her third Golden Globe for her role in "The Wife," upsetting a category which included Nicole Kidman, Rosamund Pike, Melissa McCarthy and the "A Star Is Born" frontrunner Lady Gaga.
Sony Pictures Classics
Snub: "A Star is Born's" Lady Gaga seemed like a shoe-in to go home with a Globe in each hand: one for acting and one for songwriting. But in a shocking upset she lost the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama category to Glenn Close, who grabbed the winner’s trophy for her role in “The Wife. And the film itself lost the biggest award of the night -- best drama -- to “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Netflix
Snub: Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" was first snubbed in noms, with only stars Yvonne Strahovski and Elisabeth Moss getting nods. Then the hits kept coming tonight, as neither of them managed to win their category, leaving “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the show that won best drama series just last year, totally shut out.
Hulu
Surprise: It looks like the HFPA was feeling nostalgic when they voted on Best Television Series — Drama this year, as they doled out the award to final season of FX’s “The Americans,” which was a real shock, as the prize was assumed to be going to either BBC America’s new series “Killing Eve” or Amazon’s Prime Video’s “Homecoming.”
