Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda has more in his future than just Mary Poppins Returns after his Broadway smash.

The Santa Monica-based streaming service teased his appearance in a new video Tuesday.

The show, executive produced by Amy Poehler, follows struggling comedian Billy Epstein (Billy Eichner) and his friend Julie (played by show creator and writer Julie Klausner) in New York City.
Miranda's role is reportedly based on an incident in Klausner's real life: She was scammed out of tickets to the hit Broadway show.
Eichner first tweeted the news about Miranda coming to Difficult People back in February.
Difficult People Season 2 premieres on Hulu on July 12.
