\n\tPeacock<\/a> has unearthed the first trailer for its comedy Dig<\/a> starring Amy Poehler<\/a> and co-created by Michael Schur (The Good Place, Parks and Recreation). The 10-episode comedy series premieres on the streamer November 23.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEveryone, listen up, because I\u2019m only going to explain this once,\u201d Poehler\u2019s Elise tells her young field crew. \u201cThere are stray dogs everywhere. Do not feed the dogs, ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral of the troops on the archaeological site try to fight her command, but she cuts them off every time, no matter the excuse.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series, which follows a team of dedicated archaeologists and less-dedicated college students spending their summer at the Grecian dig site when they unearth a rare artifact, is an adaptation of Kate Myers\u2019 bestseller \u201cExcavations.\u201d Author Kate Myers is a co-executive producer.<\/p>\n

\n\tHugh Laurie<\/a>\u2019s British character Neville chimes in over the intercom to greet the excavation team on the dig site in Greece, where he describes himself as \u201cthe face of the archeological dig\u201d but adds that Elise is \u201cits beating heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe male archaeologist then confesses he has some news to share with Elise: his retirement. But she points out that they\u2019ve been down this path before. Sure enough, during what looks to be an announcement to the field crew, Neville pivots and says \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll stay one more year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThen, Elise and Geraldine Viswanathan<\/a>\u2019s character uncover an ornate-looking statuette in the ground, and they have a big choice to make about how to report the discovery. If they tell Neville, \u201che\u2019ll get the credit like he always does.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut if we dig it up ourselves, you\u2019ll get the credit,\u201d Viswanathan says to Elise, who compares the scandal to Watergate, which the younger archaeologist says she\u2019s read when Elise asks if she knows what the reference means.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have been wanting to take over this dig for a very long time,\u201d Elise says at the end of the clip. \u201cThis may be our only shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
