Peacock’s upcoming comedy series “Dig,” starring Amy Poehler, expands its cast with several new additions. Variety reports that Jason Mantzoukas, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Noma Dumezweni join in recurring roles. TVLine similarly highlights Mantzoukas and also notes other ensemble connections tied to the show’s creative team.
Alongside the recurring cast, Max Greenfield and Dan Bucatinsky are set to guest star, according to Variety. ComingSoon.net frames the series as an “Indiana Jones-like” adventure-style comedy, tying the new casting updates to the show’s premise. The series is based on Kate Myers’ book “Excavations” and centers on a team of archaeologists, with Poehler leading the ensemble. Across outlets, the reporting focuses on the same slate of names and their role types—recurring for the three actors and guest appearances for the two others—without adding conflicting details about the show’s broader plot or timing.
