Amy Poehler, Mike Schur Reunite for Peacock Comedy ‘Dig’ (2025)

Peacock is staging a Parks and Recreation reunion of sorts — though it will be set far from Pawnee.

Parks and Rec star Amy Poehler and co-creator Mike Schur are reteaming for the first time since their NBC show ended in 2015 on a comedy called Dig, which Peacock has ordered to series. Poehler is set to star and executive produce alongside Schur and J.J. Philbin (Only Murders in the Building, Single Parents); all three will serve as writers on the show.

Dig, from Universal Television (where both Schur and Poehler have overall deals), is based on the novel Excavations by Kate Myers. The logline reads, “Four women working at an archeological dig in Greece 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 international conspiracy.”

The show will also mark Poehler’s first ongoing role in a live-action series since Parks and Rec. The Emmy winner voiced Joy in last year’s Inside Out 2 from Pixar; her other recent credits include Fox’s animated series Duncanville (which she also co-created), Chelsea Peretti’s First Time Female Director and Netflix’s movie Wine Country. She also hosts the podcast Good Hang from The Ringer.

The show also marks the first time married couple Schur and Philbin have teamed on a half-hour series. They previously worked together at Saturday Night Live in the late 1990s.

Schur (via his Fremulon banner), Poehler (via Paper Kite Productions) and Philbin executive produce Dig with Morgan Sackett, Dave Becky and David Miner of 3 Arts, Sharon Jackson of Ocean Avenue, and Paper Kite’s Kate Arend and Jordan Grief. Excavations author Myers is a co-EP.

Poehler is repped by WME, 3 Arts, Ocean Avenue and Sloane Offer. Schur is with UTA, 3 Arts and Hansen Jacobson. Philbin is repped by UTA and Rise Management. Myers is repped by CAA and Claire Friedman at Inkwell Management.
