We’ve missed Tina Fey since 30 Rock went off the air, but her new project for Netflix brings us her trademark wit and ridiculous sense of humor and wonderment in protagonist Kimmy Schmidt.
Fey is producing Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which begins streaming March 6. And while she’s staying behind the scenes on this one, fans will delight to see the lead character being played by Ellie Kemper of The Office and the always-incredible Jane Krakowski returning as an Upper East Side trophy wife.
The premise revolves around Kimmy, who was one of four women kept in an underground bunker for years. The women are rescued and well, Kimmy moves to New York. Laughs ensue as she tries to adjust to modern life.
Originally made for NBC, Netflix picked it up when the network couldn’t find an appropriate place for it on its schedule, according to Mashable. It’s all part of their plan to create more original content, as we reported earlier this week.
Watch the trailer for a good laugh:
