Amy Poehler stars in and co-created 'Dig,' a new comedy series set to premiere on Peacock on November 23. The 10-episode series, co-created with Michael Schur and based on Kate Myers' 2023 novel 'Excavation,' follows four women archaeologists at a remote site in Greece who uncover a priceless artifact that should not exist. Poehler plays Elise, the star excavator, who leads the team—Clare (Antonia Thomas), Dylan (Geraldine Viswanathan), and Patty (Fina Strazza)—in hiding the discovery from Neville (Hugh Laurie), the dig's head archaeologist, to claim credit themselves.
The series blends workplace comedy with adventure, depicting the team as they navigate a high-stakes international conspiracy that threatens their careers. The trailer reveals their increasingly chaotic attempts to cover up the find, including staging injuries and evading surveillance. J.J. Philbin serves as co-showrunner, and the cast includes Jason Mantzoukas, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Max Greenfield, and Dan Bucatinsky in supporting roles.
