An adaptation of Kate Myers' 2023 novel Excavations, Dig follows four women working at an archaeological dig in Greece, all of whom are at wildly different crossroads in their lives. 'When the team uncovers a long-buried secret with the potential to rewrite history,' the logline reads, 'they find themselves at the center of a high-stakes international conspiracy.'
Dig marks Poehler and Schur's first creative team-up since Parks and Recreation, which ended in 2015 after a seven-season run on NBC. Other Dig EPs include Myers, J.J. Philbin, Morgan Sackett, Dave Becky, David Miner, Sharon Jackson, Kate Arend and Jordan Grief.
Since Parks and Recreation concluded, Poehler's TV credits have included Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning and the animated series Duncanville and Dream Productions (where she voices her Inside Out character of Joy). Schur, meanwhile, has since created or co-created NBC's The Good Place, Peacock's Rutherford Falls and Netflix's A Man on the Inside, now in production on its second season.

NBC Pushes ‘The Hunting Party' to Midseason, As It Sets Fall Premiere Dates for NBA, ‘One Chicago' Wednesdays and ‘Law & Order' Thursdays
NBC is bringing 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' back to the network this fall, pushing 'The Hunting Party' to midseason. That's among the scheduling tweaks revealed by the network as it unveils premiere dates for its full fall lineup. NBC previously unveiled its fall 2025 schedule back in May, but the 'L&O:OG' and 'Hunting Party' switcheroo are among several notable changes. The second season of 'The Hunting Party' was originally scheduled to air following new episodes of 'Law & Order' and 'Law & Order: SVU' on Thursday nights. Instead, the sophomore season will now be held until after January. More from Variety Native American Community Center Comedy Pilot Not Moving Forward at NBC 'The Voice' Renewed for Season 29 With Format Revamp; Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Adam Levine Returning NBC Orders Cheerleading Comedy 'Stumble' to Series In its place, NBC will air a three-hour 'Law & Order' block on Thursdays beginning Sept. 25. Following 'Law & Order' and 'SVU,' the fifth season of 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' will be re-aired on the broadcaster at 10 p.m. ET. Season 5 of the show originally debuted on Peacock in April after airing its first four seasons on NBC. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, there is a chance 'The Hunting Party' will begin airing in February 2026 to take advantage of promotion around NBC's packed sports schedule that month. That includes the Super Bowl, the NBA All-Star game, and Olympics coverage. 'The Hunting Party' is also relocating from Canada to shoot in New York for its second season. In keeping with the Dick Wolf of it all, NBC's 'One Chicago' lineup returns on Wednesday, Oct. 1 led off by 'Chicago Med' at 8 p.m., followed by 'Chicago Fire' and 'Chicago PD.' One other change affects NBC's comedy lineup. Although the network originally left open time slots after returning comedies 'St. Denis Medical' and 'Happy's Place' on Mondays and Fridays respectively, both shows will now air back to back new episodes beginning on Monday, Nov. 3 and Friday, Nov. 7. NBC has two new comedies — cheerleading show 'Stumble' and 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe — still waiting in the wings. The shows could still potentially air following 'St. Denis Medical' or 'Happy's Place' come fall, but no plans are locked at the time of this publishing. Looking elsewhere on the schedule, the NBA will make its highly-anticipated return to NBC officially on Oct. 21. The network will kick off coverage at 6:30 p.m. ET with the pregame show, followed by a double header starting at 7:30 p.m. The teams participating in those games will be announced shortly. The medical drama 'Brilliant Minds' will return for its second season on Monday, Sept. 22 at 10 p.m. following a the season premiere episode of 'The Voice.' The new unscripted series 'On Brand with Jimmy Fallon' will launch on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. NBC will air two episodes of the marketing competition series per week, with an episode also airing on Fridays starting Oct 3. The 51st season of 'Saturday Night Live' begins on Oct. 4. As previously announced, NBC will air a two-hour 'Wicked' special on Thursday, Nov. 6 starting at 8 p.m., two weeks ahead of the launch of the film 'Wicked: For Good.'

Tyra Banks Said She Eats Old Bed Crumbs for This Reason—and Jenna Bush Hager Was Speechless
Tyra Banks Said She Eats Old Bed Crumbs for This Reason—and Jenna Bush Hager Was Speechless originally appeared on Parade. Crumbs in bed are a universal struggle. Most people wipe them off, shake out the sheets, and swear to never eat Doritos under the covers again. But not Tyra Banks. On Today with Jenna & Friends, the 51-year-old supermodel casually revealed she deals with crumbs... by eating them. Days later. During the Monday, July 28 episode, Banks sat alongside host Jenna Bush Hager and shared her nightly routine: hanging in bed with her mom, Carolyn London, snacking on ice cream and popcorn while watching TV. But when Bush Hager, 43, mentioned she avoids eating in bed because of the crumbs, Banks didn't hesitate: 'The great thing is like a couple days later…' Without skipping a beat, the NBC star said, 'No, you do not! A couple days later you get down in there and…?' 'I do!' Banks replied. 'And you know, Jenna, I clean crumbs by eating them. Because if you put them in the trash, I'm like 'It's gonna get roaches or something.' So you just clean it up with your finger. Or you just like eat it.' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 That led to laughter from behind the cameras and more follow-up questions. Like… what if the crumbs are on the floor? 'If it's on your ground! That's your feet,' the Life-Size actress said. 'I have [a] no-shoe rule in my home so that I can eat off my floor. No, but I'm serious, I do do that.' She added, 'It's not a two-second rule, it's not a 10-second rule, it's like a minute rule.' 🍳 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & fun food news in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳 Banks even said the 'rule' applies long after the crumbs fall. 'A few days if it's not super perishable. Like a popcorn? I mean, come on. That's like astronaut food. It just lasts forever. You just pick it up. I'm not joking.' Would she eat food from her bed a week later? 'Yeah, if I knew it was mine in my bed, yeah.' Bush Hager could only respond with a wide-eyed, 'Oh my god, Tyra,' before cutting to commercial. Banks is co-hosting Today with Jenna & Friends for the full week of July 28 through August 1. Tyra Banks Said She Eats Old Bed Crumbs for This Reason—and Jenna Bush Hager Was Speechless first appeared on Parade on Jul 28, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 28, 2025, where it first appeared.
