‘Dig’: Who Is Who in Peacock’s New Comedy?
Get ready to dig into Peacock‘s newest comedy as Amy Poehler and Michael Schur reunite for their first series together since Parks and Recreation wrapped its run in 2015.
Dig, which officially premieres with all ten episodes on Monday, November 23, is an adaptation of Kate Myers’ bestselling novel Excavations, and while there may be source material to reference, the team behind this series is putting their own stamp on the story, which puts Poehler in the leading role.
But don’t expect Leslie Knope 2.0 as Poehler stretches her comedy muscles with a new approach to an on-screen leadership role, as teased in the trailer. Set in Greece, Dig follows a team of archaeologists and indifferent college students looking for a cool way to spend their summer as they work on a dig site together.
When the archaeologists uncover a rare artifact, it kickstarts an adventure of a lifetime that viewers will have to see to believe. And while we wait for the series to arrive, we’re breaking down what you need to know about the characters from the series co-created by Poehler and Schur, the latter of whom also teams up with real-life wife, J.J. Philbin, as a writer and executive producer on the show.
Scroll down for a closer peek at the characters, some of whom are a bit different than they are in Myers’ book, at least name-wise, and stay tuned for more on Dig as we approach the premiere.
