"Smash" fans can go online to watch the some of the Season 2 premiere right now, instead of waiting for the Golden Globe-nominated series to make its return to NBC on Tuesday, Feb. 5.
NBC has released the first half of the "Smash" Season 2 two-hour premiere online -- titled "On Broadway" -- giving eager viewers a chance to see just how much the show has been retooled. Several characters from last season -- including the hated Ellis -- are gone and several new ones join the bunch, including Jimmy (Jeremy Jordan), a bad boy musical prodigy; Ana (Krysta Rodriguez), Karen's (Katharine McPhee) new roommate; and Veronica Moore (Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson).
Get a sneak peek at all the Broadway drama with the first hour of "Smash" online (below).
The full Season 2 premiere airs Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.
