Dig (2026 TV series)

Four archaeologists are working at an excavation site in Greece when they discover a secret that puts them in the midst of an international conspiracy.^[1][2]

• Amy Poehler as Elise
• Geraldine Viswanathan as Dylan, who after a five-year absence, returns to the dig in Greece on a whim to take care of some unfinished business.
• Fina Strazza as Patty, the undergraduate assistant to Laurie’s Neville, a British professor who sincerely loves archaeology. Patty is in way over her head and the dig represents the first time she has ever been outside of the U.S.
• Antonia Thomas as Clare, who oversees the dig site’s lab/museum as head preservationist. She’s most comfortable in a world of privilege and is slightly off-foot in the casual cargo-clad world of the dig.
• Hugh Laurie as Neville, a British professor who sincerely loves archaeology and strives to uphold the traditions of this dying profession. He fancies himself an inspiring mentor to everyone who works at the site.
