Peacock's Dig Premieres November 23; Disney+ and Hulu Announce Video Podcasts for Boy Mets World, Scrubs, and Desperate Housewives

Peacock has announced first images and the premiere date for new comedy Dig, launching November 23. Dig follows a team of dedicated archaeologists (and less-dedicated college students) who spend their summer working on a dig site in Greece. Their discovery of a rare artifact sends them on the adventure of a lifetime.

Dig stars Amy Poehler, Hugh Laurie, Geraldine Viswanathan, Antonia Thomas and Fina Strazza. The series is an adaptation of Kate Myers' bestseller Excavations. Michael Schur and Amy Poehler co-wrote the pilot episode and executive produce the series, with Poehler set to star. Guest starring are Kayvan Novak, Jon Pointing and Bonita Friedericy. 10 episodes will drop.

Disney+ and Hulu announced a video podcasting deal with iHeartMedia for six iHeartPodcasts titles, beginning with Hey Jonas! on Disney+ and Hulu streaming August 14. Adding to its growing slate of licensed, rewatch, and companion podcasts, the collaboration will also bring video editions of iHeartPodcasts' Pod Meets World to Disney+ as well as Desperately Devoted, Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald, StraightioLab, and Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim to Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. in the coming months. New episodes will stream weekly across all podcasts.

Premiering August 24 is Pod Meets World. After recapping all 7 seasons of Boy Meets World the sitcom they starred in as teenagers, and now with over 55 million audio downloads to their name, Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong are taking their 30-year friendship to the next level. This newest chapter of the podcast will dig deeper into their undeniable chemistry through more shared '90s memories, random tangents, new side quests and exciting guests. They're back for a new era - so fans can join their three childhood best friends on Pod Meets World!

Fans of Scrubs can also revisit each episode of the hit series alongside co-stars and real-life best friends Zach Braff and Donald Faison with Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald, streaming on Hulu beginning later this year.

Desperately Devoted on Hulu will begin streaming with video for the first time on November 2, making for the perfect time to catch up on Desperate Housewives episodes before diving even deeper with award-winning actress Teri Hatcher, her on-screen daughter Andrea Bowen, and her real-life daughter Emerson Tenney.
