Watch the debut trailer for ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’
Tired of your favorite comedies on TV getting cancelled every year (see: A to Z, The New Normal)? Netflix has an all-new original comedy series arriving later this spring entitled, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt starring former The Office star, Ellie Kemper. Originally set to premiere on NBC’s spring campaign, the upcoming Tina Fey-directed project has gone digital to Netflix, and has already been renewed for a second season. The series introduces us to a young lady we’re presuming in her early 30s, who finally escapes a doomsday cult after 15 years.
With her teen years gone and some childhood lost, Kimmy starts a new life in Manhattan alongside her best friend Cindy and Gretchen – both from the cult. Now only with a few years to live it up in the city before she gets old (according to peers), Schmidt looks to make up for lost time and reclaim her life as a ‘normal’ civilian.
Also starring Tituss Burgess, Sara Chase, Lauren Adams and the always lovely Jane Krakowski, look for season one of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to premiere on Netflix this March 6th at 3:01am ET.
