Back in August, Duplass told Deadline that the show’s writers were redoing the episodes to reference the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

So far, a release date hasn’t been announced for the second season.
The series marked Aniston’s return to TV after appearing on Burning Love in 2012.
Witherspoon, meanwhile, has made a name for herself in recent years as a queen of prestige television.
She played one of the leads in the wildly popular HBO series Big Little Lies, and more recently she starred opposite Kerry Washington in the Hulu miniseries Little Fires Everywhere, based on the acclaimed novel of the same name.
