Ellie Kemper is finally returning to television after the end of The Office and she’s wreaking havoc in New York City instead of Scranton.
Netflix has posted the first trailer for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which was created by Tina Fey with 30 Rock executive producer Robert Carlock. In it, Kemper stars as Kimmy Schmidt, who was living in a cult that believed the apocalypse had already happened. After she’s pulled out of their bunker and discovers modern New York City, she decides to stay. While there, she gets a job as a nanny for a rich socialite, played by 30 Rock’s Jane Krakowski.
The trailer shows just how hard it is for Kimmy to fit in society and how annoying she is to her roommates.
The series was initially ordered by NBC, but the network passed on the pilot surprisingly. Netflix not only picked it up for a full season, but also renewed it for a second one. The first 13-episode season will debut on the streaming service on March 6.
Kemper is also known for her role in Bridesmaids.
