The new trailer takes place in 1977 and follows Gyllenhaal’s character’s booming directorial career. The teaser, however, is not the only source of news leading into the show’s second season.
Gyllenhaal, 40, recently told W magazine about her role as a sex worker-turned-porn star in “The Deuce”.
“I’m a sex worker in ‘The Deuce’, so I have to pretend to f**k someone I’ve just met. And then another guy. And another,” she said. “So what’s expressed in those scenes is somebody who’s doing a transaction. Then it’s fine to act naked because all these other things are going on in your mind.”

In fact, Gyllenhaal sought for her character, Candy, to have the “realest orgasm ever” to add a sense of vulnerability to her performance.
Five episodes of “The Deuce” season 2 will air between Sept. 9 and Oct. 7.
