Apple TV+'s 'Harriet the Spy' Season 2: Jane Lynch's Hum-Hating Nanny Hides a Secret (Exclusive Clip)
Apple TV+ is launching Harriet the Spy Season 2 this week, and PopCulture.com has landed an exclusive clip from the upcoming premiere. In the short teaser, Harriet (Beanie Feldstein) reveals how her nanny Ole Golly (Jane Lynch) is notorious for hating it when she can hear anyone, or anything, hum. Even an adorable hummingbird is not safe from her ire.
However, one morning, Harriet awakens to discover that Ole Golly is, in fact, humming to herself, which clues the young sleuth in that her beloved nanny may be hiding a secret. In a description of the episode, we learn that while Ole Golly, "Harriet's larger-than-life, no-nonsense nanny," usually hates humming, "something in her life has her cheerfully humming and making sandwiches with heart shapes!" Check out the exclusive clip above and see a trailer for the fun family series below. Harriet the Spy Season 2 debuts Friday, March 5, on Apple TV+!
"Harriet the Spy follows the outspoken and perpetually curious 11-year-old Harriet M. Welsch," reads the show's official synopsis.
