Amy Poehler’s ‘Parks and Recreation’ Replacement Officially Arrives Next Week

Amy Poehler returns to live-action comedy in Dig, a Peacock series she co-created with Parks and Recreation collaborator Michael Schur. The show follows four women working at an archaeological dig in Greece who make a major discovery and become caught up in an international conspiracy.

All ten episodes are due on 23 November, ahead of Thanksgiving. Poehler plays Elise, the site’s lead archaeologist, alongside Hugh Laurie as Neville, a scientist who has stayed on the dig and often receives credit for discoveries. Geraldine Viswanathan, Fina Strazza and Antonia Thomas also star; the cast includes recurring and guest roles for Jason Mantzoukas, Noma Dumezweni, Kayvan Novak and others.
