Amy Poehler and Mike Schur’s DIG Trailer
Get ready to dust off your trowels and prepare for some serious history-based hilarity. Peacock has just unveiled the trailer for DIG, a brand-new comedy series that promises to be an archaeological adventure starring the inimitable Amy Poehler and Hugh Laurie.
The premise is pure gold: a team of archaeologists—some dedicated, some decidedly less dedicated college students—find themselves thrust into an adventure when they embark on a summer dig site in Greece. Their quest quickly escalates when they stumble upon a rare artifact that sets off a chain of events far more chaotic than any textbook suggests.
The cast is packed with comedic talent, featuring co-stars Geraldine Viswanathan, Antonia Thomas, and Fina Strazza. Adding to the ensemble are guest stars Kayvan Novak, Jon Pointing, Bonita Friedericy, Jason Mantzoukas, and Brennan Lee Mulligan, ensuring plenty of delightful comedic interplay throughout the episodes.
Behind the scenes, the creative team brings a wealth of comedic experience to the project. Michael Schur and J.J. Philbin are serving as showrunners and executive producers alongside Poehler, lending gravitas and a knack for smart, hilarious storytelling to the endeavor.
Schur’s comedic pedigree is undeniable. He has crafted some of television’s most beloved sitcoms and acclaimed series, including his co-creation of Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, as well as the highly praised The Good Place and the recent Netflix series A Man on the Inside.
This blend of scholarly pursuit and slapstick comedy is set to deliver a genuinely engaging watch. With ten episodes planned, the series is slated to premiere on the streamer on November 23rd, promising an adventure for all history buffs and comedy lovers alike.
