Who will star in Dig?
Amy Poehler was the only cast member announced for Dig until December 2025, when Deadline revealed Hugh Laurie had been tapped to play the male lead opposite Poehler’s character. According to the outlet, Laurie will play a British professor named Neville, who has a passion for archaeology and works to uphold the traditions of the dying profession. Nevill supposedly sees himself as a mentor.
Since then, it has been announced that Geraldine Viswanathan will take on the role of Dylan, a young woman who returns to the dig after a five-year absence to tie up some unfinished business. Meanwhile, Fina Strazza is playing Patty, the undergraduate assistant to Neville, and Antonia Thomas is portraying Clare, the head preservationist overseeing the dig site’s lab and museum.
What is Dig about?
According to the series logline for Dig, the show follows four women working at an archaeological dig in Greece who are at wildly different crossroads in their lives. When the team uncovers a long-buried secret with the potential to rewrite history, they find themselves at the center of a high-stakes conspiracy. The show is an adaptation of Kate Myers’ bestselling book, Excavations.

Poehler and Schur serve as co-writers on the pilot and will also write the series Dig alongside J.J. Philbin. Together, Poehler, Schur, and Philbin are executive producing the series with Morgan Sackett, Dave Becky, David Miner, Sharon Jackson, Kate Arend, and Jordan Grief.
