As per the official logline, the upcoming series finds "four women working at an archaeological 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 centre of a high-stakes international conspiracy," the logline continued, according to People.

'Dig' marks Poehler's first foray into TV since the 2015 series finale of Parks and Recreation -- and marks the first time she's worked with Schur since that finale.

Peacock announced the comedy series just after fans celebrated the 10th anniversary of Parks and Rec's conclusion.

The cast also included Nick Offerman, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Aziz Ansari, Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza.

"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," said Adam Scott, who played the love interest of Poehler's character Leslie Knope.

"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."

Parks and Recreation can be streamed on Peacock, and The Good Place and A Man on the Inside are now streaming on Netflix, reported People.

So excited for Amy Poehler's comeback! Parks and Rec was my comfort show during college days. Hope this new series brings the same warmth and humor. The archaeology angle sounds interesting too! 🤩

International conspiracy + comedy? That's an unusual mix. Hope they don't make it too American-centric. Would love to see some global perspectives given the Greece setting.

As an archaeology student, I'm curious how accurate the dig scenes will be! Most shows get it completely wrong. But with Amy Poehler involved, at least it'll be entertaining 😄

Miss the Parks and Rec gang! That show had such great workplace chemistry. Hope this new series captures some of that magic. The text chain story Adam Scott shared is so wholesome ❤️

Not sure about the premise - comedy and high-stakes conspiracy don't usually mix well. But I trust Amy Poehler's talent. She made local government funny in Parks and Rec after all!

Wonder if they'll show any Indian connections in the archaeological finds? Our civilization is ancient too! Just saying... would be nice to see some representation beyond Western history.
