Now, the comedy dream team is teaming up again for another possibly iconic series.
Poehler, 53, will not only be writer and executive producer along with Schur, but will also appear in the show — her much-anticipated return to a starring role on television.
As stated in the official logline, Dig focuses on "four women working at an archaeological dig in Greece," all of whom are at "wildly different crossroads in their lives."
But what starts out as a search for ancient artifacts takes a hair-raising turn. "When the team unearths a long-buried secret with the potential to rewrite history," the description adds, "they become embroiled in a high-stakes international conspiracy.
"
With its mix of woman-centric storytelling, comedic skill, and suspenseful mystery against the beautiful backdrop of Greece, Dig is sure to be an exciting and entertaining new entry in the comedy-drama field.
No debut date has been posted yet, but excitement is already growing for Poehler's return as well as another Schur-driven series that's sure to dig up both humor and interest.
