Peacock Sets November 23 Premiere for Amy Poehler Comedy Dig

A new comedy series reuniting Amy Poehler and "Parks and Recreation" creator Mike Schur has secured its premiere date. The show, titled "Dig," will debut on the streaming service Peacock on November 23, 2026. The announcement was accompanied by the release of first-look images from the series.

"Dig" is a ten-episode adaptation of Kate Myers' bestselling novel "Excavations." The series follows a team of dedicated archaeologists and less-dedicated college students who spend their summer working on a dig site in Greece. Their summer takes a dramatic turn when they discover a rare artifact, a long-buried secret with the potential to rewrite history. This discovery thrusts the group into the center of a high-stakes international conspiracy.

Poehler stars as Elise, marking her second major live-action television role following the success of "Parks and Recreation." She co-wrote the pilot episode with Schur, and both serve as executive producers. The series also stars Hugh Laurie as Neville, a British professor who loves archaeology and strives to uphold the traditions of the profession. He fancies himself a mentor to those working at the site.
