Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess are discussing how many scenes they had together on the first season of Netflix's comedy "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

The answer is one, maybe two, if you count the scene where they don't speak to each other.

"We never actually introduced ourselves," says Krakowski of the characters. "Our story lines were quite separated for season one."

"I'm hoping to be her stylist in season two," adds Burgess.

Despite their lack of screen time together, both Broadway musical veterans received Primetime Emmy Award nominations last year in the best-supporting categories. The two are part of the new life of Ellie Kemper's Kimmy, a young woman trying to establish herself in New York City after 15 years of captivity in a cult leader's underground shelter. Burgess plays Kimmy's roommate Titus (his character only has one "s" in his name), an aspiring performer, while Krakowski is Jacqueline, an Upper Manhattan trophy wife who hired Kimmy to tend to her kids.

By the end of last season, both Titus and Jacqueline were in crisis. A divorce strips her of her wealth and status, the things that made her life meaningful. At the beginning of the new season debuting Friday, she rediscovers her Native American roots and goes back to the reservation where her family lives.

"My character is going back to South Dakota to find herself," says Krakowski, but we'll see how long that lasts. The actress jokes she only signed on to "Kimmy" because she just wanted to work again with her "30 Rock" bosses, Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, again. Only then did she find out what her role was.

The series was originally shot for NBC. Then the network passed and Netflix picked it up.

"I got a lot of good lines and minutes back when we went to Netflix," says Krakowski, referring to the fact the streaming giant could run their episodes longer without commercials and be a bit more risqué.

But don't expect the tone of "Kimmy" to be much racier this year.

"There won't be any nudity or anything," notes Burgess.

"But I'm working out just in case," cracks Krakowski, who has four Emmy nominations, a Tony Award for her performance in the Broadway revival of "Nine" and a solo album, "The Laziest Gal in Town."

Burgess is also a Broadway veteran, and last season he made a goofy musical video called "Peeno Noir" that went viral.

"Obviously, we knew we wanted Tituss to sing," says Carlock.

Fans can expect more of that this year, although first Titus will have to deal with the revelation in last year's final episode that he abandoned his wife at the altar. His intended, however, discovers his whereabouts through the video.

This year "Pitch Perfect" actress Anna Camp will be joining the cast as a trophy-wife and rival to Jacqueline. Meanwhile, Jeff Goldblum, Fred Armisen, "Girls" star Zosia Mamet and David Cross will among those making appearances on "Kimmy," which received seven Emmy nominations, including best comedy.

Kemper got a Screen Actors Guild nomination for her role as Kimmy, who this season will be forced to find more work. We know that one job will involve her playing an elf.

And while the new season will have more singing and dancing, Krakowski likely won't be part of it. Carlock said the irony of the character is that Jacqueline can't sing; so don't expect any duets from her and Burgess.

Burgess suggests maybe they can sing together in a dream sequence, but Krakowski counters, "Or I could just come over. I sing at home, too."
