We always need new comedies. Especially when the names Michael Schur and Amy Poehler are associated with them. The first, best known for creating The Good Place, also created Parks & Recreation, a series in which the latter played the lead role. The duo behind Dig therefore know each other, while many faces in the trailer for the Peacock series should bring back memories for fans of the genre (we’ll leave the surprise to you).

In Dig, the story will follow archaeologists and students who spend their summer on an excavation site in Greece. But when they discover a rare artifact, everything will change. It is an adaptation of Kate Myers’s novel Excavations. Alongside Amy Poehler, Hugh Laurie, Geraldine Viswanathan, Antonia Thomas and Fina Strazza will also be in front of the camera.
The bad news is that for now, Dig’s release seems to be planned only on the American platform Peacock starting November 23. We’ll keep you updated, of course.
