Amy Poehler joins Dig cast for premiere before Peacock launch
The comedy arrives November 23 with all 10 episodes released together, marking Poehler’s return to a live-action TV lead after Parks & Recreation.
Peacock’s comedy Dig had its premiere in Beverly Hills, California, on November 9, with Amy Poehler attending alongside members of the cast. The series is scheduled to begin streaming November 23, when viewers will have access to all 10 episodes at once.
Poehler developed the show as a co-creator with Mike Schur, whose credits include co-creating The Good Place. It is her first leading role in live-action television since the 2015 conclusion of Parks & Recreation. Hugh Laurie also has a lead role in Dig.
Peacock describes a story about archaeologists spending a summer excavating in Greece alongside college students. A rare artifact they uncover leads the group into an adventure.
The event was held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, with Avra hosting the after-party. Cast members attending included Antonia Thomas, Geraldine Viswanathan and Fina Strazza. Recurring performers Brennan Lee Mulligan and Jason Mantzoukas were there, as were special guest stars Dan Bucatinsky and Max Greenfield.
