The first “Transparent” Season 2 teaser trailer opens up with a big, white wedding, but the picture-perfect moment is ruined when Jeffrey Tambor‘s transgender character, Maura, gets labeled a “sir.”
“Did he call me sir?” Maura asks the rest of the Pfefferman clan. “Okay, we’re done.”
Season 2 of “Transparent” returns on Dec. 11, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon announced on Tuesday that Anjelica Huston and Cherry Jones will guest star on the show, along with the slew of familiar faces returning to play various characters the Pfefferman family interacts with as they transition, themselves.
According to creator Jill Soloway, “Our Pfeffermans realize they must give up their disguises, unspoken arrangements and secrets. By exploring their shared history and legacy, they come to understand that you can’t go forward without knowing where you come from. Ultimately, everyone will open their hearts, advertise their desires, and test those notoriously wobbly boundaries as each Pfefferman tries their hardest to come out – as themselves.”

"I would say that I had a nervosity and an insistent self-tapping on my shoulder at all time ... When I come out to my eldest daughter [in the show], I was shaking. I was throw-up nervous ..."
"Transparent" showrunner Jill Soloway: "Maura unleashes this beautiful thing in [Jeffrey]. He's always reminded me of my parents, just being Jewy, soft, funny, sweet, vulnerable."

"The subject matter [of 'Transparent'] needs light and love and understanding."
"Did I know what I was getting into? You don't really think that way. But I remember many times talking to Jill. We'd be in the middle of a scene, and I would say, 'Oh, this is so big.'"
