two is packed full of cameos and guest stars -- but none are more surprising
than Sia, who actually shows her face on screen.

The 39-year-old singer, who constantly hides her face behind
wigs when in front of the camera, appears as Puppet in episode nine, when three
of the Pfefferman women -- Maura (Jeffrey Tambor), Sarah (Amy Landecker), and Ali
(Gaby Hoffmann) -- attend Idylwild Wimmin's Music Festival. Her brief appearance
is almost unrecognizable until her distinct voice is heard singing a few lines
as she walks past Sarah and Ali.
The “Man on the Land” episode also features an appearance by
creator Jill Soloway and cameo performances from the singer Peaches and the
Indigo Girls. Then there are all the guest stars, including Melanie Hutsell
(Carol in Bridesmaids) and the
introduction of Anjelica Huston. Both Michaela Watkins and Bradley Whitford --
who won an Emmy for his role in season one -- return to the series in unexpected
flashback scenes set in 1930s Berlin, Germany.

“It offsets the misconception that transgender community is
a 21st century phenomenon,” co-producer Zackary Drucker tells ETonline about
the pre-WWII scenes that also introduce model Hari Nef as Tanta Gittel, a
Pfefferman family member first referenced in season one.
Transparent season
two is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
