Amy Poehler is back where she belongs — leading a television comedy. Poehler and the cast of Peacock’s upcoming series Dig attended the premiere on Monday night 9 November 2026 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California.
Poehler was joined by co-stars Geraldine Viswanathan, Fina Strazza and Antonia Thomas, plus recurring stars Jason Mantzoukas and Brennan Lee Mulligan and guest stars Max Greenfield and Dan Bucatinsky. Series lead Hugh Laurie did not appear to attend.
Dig is Poehler’s first live-action leading TV role since Parks and Recreation ended in 2015 — more than a decade since Leslie Knope left the screen. She co-created the show with Mike Schur, her Parks and Recreation collaborator behind The Good Place; Schur and J.J. Philbin are co-showrunners.
The ten-episode comedy is based on Kate Myers’ 2023 novel Excavations, following four women archaeologists on a summer dig in Greece who uncover an artifact tied to an international conspiracy. All ten episodes stream on Peacock from Monday 23 November 2026.
For Poehler, the show is a homecoming in more than one sense. It reunites her with Schur, the creative partnership that made Parks and Recreation one of the most beloved comedies of its era, and it puts her back in front of the camera in a role built around her warmth, timing and chaos.
It has been a big week for television, from Maya Jama stepping down from Love Island to the Love Is Blind Season 11 reunion. Dig premieres on Peacock on 23 November — and Amy Poehler is leading a TV show again.
