Tina Fey's New Show Picked Up By Netflix
It is set to debut in March on Netflix, which is around the same time it was supposed to happen on NBC.
"The very construct of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - its offbeat premise, hilarious and rich characters and serialized storytelling - make it a perfect Netflix comedy series," Cindy Holland, VP of Original Content at Netflix told Deadline Hollywood. "Tina and Robert's unique comic voice and sensibility come through in this series and we could not be more excited to present Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt exclusively to Netflix members around the world."
Deadline Hollywood describes the series:
"After living in a cult for fifteen years, Kimmy decides to reclaim her life and start over in New York City. Armed with just a backpack, light-up sneakers, and a couple of way-past-due library books, she's ready to take on a world she didn't even think existed anymore. Wide-eyed but resilient, nothing is going to stand in her way. She quickly finds a new job (working for 30 Rock's Jane Krakowski), a new roommate (Tituss Burgess, 30 Rock), and a new beginning. The cast also includes Lauren Adams, Sara Chase, Sol Miranda and Emmy winner Carol Kane (Taxi, The Princess Bride)."
Tina Fey and Robert Carlock created the series.
