Amy Poehler is making her long-awaited return to comedy TV.
On Wednesday, May 7, Peacock announced they’ve picked up a new series from Poehler and Mike Schur, who created Parks and Recreation and went on to find further success with The Good Place and A Man on the Inside.
The new show, called Dig, will be written and executive-produced by Poehler, 53, and Schur, with the actress set to star in the series.

Per the official logline, the upcoming series finds “four women working at an archeological dig in Greece” who are all 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 logline continues.

News of the new Peacock comedy series comes just after fans celebrated the 10th anniversary of Parks and Rec‘s conclusion. Though a decade has passed, the cast — which also included Nick Offerman, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Aziz Ansari, Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza — remains close.

“We all are on a text chain, and at least once a week we all add to the chain, and it’s great. Everyone’s so great. I really miss them,” Scott, who played the love interest of Poehler’s character Leslie Knope, told PEOPLE last month.
“They’re the best. It was so fun. No one took it for granted. We all had a blast… I know people say that about their shows. It’s annoying, but it really was so fun, and everyone … got that it was special, and no one was sick of going to work.”
