It's time to break out the cocaine wine because the Bellacourt sisters are back!

On Wednesday (June 15), Season 2 of "Another Period," starring Natasha Leggero as Lillian and Riki Lindome as Beatrice, brings audiences back to their Rhode Island mansion and into their no-shame vapidly shallow world during the Gilded Age in which nothing else matters to them but becoming famous.

Zap2it got to sit down and chat with Leggero and Lindhome and discuss what audiences have to look forward to this coming season, how they first came up the idea for this hilarious series and the line-up of amazing guest stars that will be making appearances this season.

Those returning for Season 2 include Christina Hendricks, Paget Brewster, Jason Ritter, Brett Gelman, David Wain and Armen Weitzman. New faces popping up this season include Adam Pally, June Diane Raphael as Eleanor Roosevelt, Andrew Rannells, Missi Pyle, Cedric the Entertainer as "a Kanye West-esque kind of Scott Joplin" and Michaela Watkins, who plays a whore.

Who makes them laugh the most? "Michael Ian Black," Leggero says. But "Riki cracks up during every one of her scenes with Jason, and it's actually really annoying! Because we don't much to choose from in the takes! Jason secretly loves to make her laugh."

"When someone else starts to break ... I break," Lindhome admits. "I wish I didn't."

When it comes to the intricate hair, make-up and wardrobe for the series, "We really can't get dressed on our own," Leggero says. "We need at least one person to help us. Riki is lucky because she's tall, but I have four inch heels, and then things fit. So, I'm clomping around in these platform shoes, so I pretty much try to stay stationary. The corsets, too. I've tried to not wear them. But it looks so much when you do. It really does help the shape of everything. But it's uncomfortable. My character wears them because Natasha, who plays her, wants her body to look good."

"I don't wear the corsets, it makes me stiff," Lindhome says. "And [Beatrice] is kind of floppy. It kinda goes against what my character is. Not too be too actor-y, but it does."

The show is actually based on the reality of Rhode Island life in 1902. "We both went to Newport and we got inspired by these people, and their lives. It's pretty amazing," says Leggero. "You see these houses still standing, and the preservation society still gives tours and tell you about the families that live there. It's one of the most beautiful places in America. So much of our show is inspired by the place. Things you think we makes up ... there's really a place called Servant's Beach."

"It's still called that! There's a tiny fence, but it's the same ocean. And the same beach. There's no real difference. But there's a sign that like, 'Rejects this way!" Lindhome jokes.

"This is the American version of 'Downton Abbey,'" Leggero says.

"Another Period" Season 2 premieres Wednesday, June 15 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.
