Amy Poehler and Parks & Recreation co-creator Mike Schur are teaming up together once again on a new comedy, Dig, for Peacock.
What is Dig about?
The new comedy series will follow four women working at an archeological dig in Greece at different points in their lives. After unearthing a “long-buried secret,” the group find themselves involved in a massive conspiracy.
Poehler and Schur will both co-write the pilot of the series, and will serve as executive producers along the way. Alongside them, J.J. Philbin is also credited as a writer and executive producer on the series. Poehler is set to star in the series, which has no further casting information as of now.
For Poehler, this marks her first role in a live-action series since the incredibly successful Parks and Recreation. That series was also an NBC project, and premiered in 2009, running for seven seasons and over 120 episodes. Since then, Poehler has starred in a number of projects, including Pixar’s Inside Out movies, Sisters, Duncanville, and more.
“Four women working at an archeological dig in Greece are at wildly different crossroads in their lives,” reads the official logline of the series. “When the team uncovers a long-buried secret with the potential to rewrite history, they find themselves at the center of a high-stakes international conspiracy.”
