'Mozart In the Jungle' Season 2: Gael Garcia Bernal's Rodrigo Gets Golden Globes 2016 Nods!

Season 2 of Mozart in the Jungle is just weeks away from its premiere on Amazon. With the first season gaining critical acclaim, the show and star Gael Garcia Bernal (Rodrigo) have earned themselves nominations at the 2016 Golden Globes.

During the first season, realizing funds are at an all-time low, board chairwoman Gloria (Bernadette Peters) makes a bold decision by replacing the older conductor Thomas (Malcolm McDowel) with the younger maestro Rodrigo (Bernal). A newbie oboist Hailey (Lola Kirke) tries to find the passion within herself as she unexpectedly catches the eye of Rodrigo.

According to TV Line, the Amazon show has been nominated for Comedy or Musical Series. Gael also earned himself a nod for Actor in a Comedy or Musical Series, competing against, Aziz Anzari (Master of None), Rob Lowe (The Grinder), Patrick Stewart (Blunt Talk), and Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent).

In an interview with Vogue, the Y Tu Mama Tambien actor describes what interested him about his character, "The world of classical music is so fascinating. It's a world that encompasses people from everywhere and erases the basic restraints of nationality; everyone is united by this common language of music. That was very exciting to me to be part of."

As Deadline reports, Amazon will premiere all 10 episodes of the sophomore season of its original series on at the end of December, just before the new year. Mozart in the Jungle can be seen exclusively on Prime Video in the U.S., UK, Germany and Austria. Guest stars during this second season include Gretchen Mol, Dermot Mulroney, and Esai Morales. There will also be guest appearances by music luminaries Gustavo Dudamel, Lang Lang and Emanuel Ax.

Season 2 of Mozart In The Jungle premieres December 30 on Amazon. Hosted by Ricky Gervais, The Golden Globes broadcasts on NBC Sunday, Jan. 10, 2016.
