New animated comedy from Andy Samberg

Here's the trailer for Digman! – the new animated comedy from Andy Samberg.

The half-hour, star-studded Comedy Central show is set in a world ‘where archaeologists are massive celebrities and the coolest people on the planet’

Samberg has written the show with Brooklyn Nine-Nine writer Neil Campbell, as well as providing the voice of the Indiana Jones style protagonist, Rip Digman.

The cast includes Daniel Radcliffe, Edgar Wright, Jane Lynch, Claudia O'Doherty, Guz Khan, Netflix sketch comedian Tim Robinson, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Melissa Fumero and Dale Soules from Orange Is The New Black.

When the show was officially announced, the series creators said: ‘As kids we were led to believe that archaeologists are all bad-ass, adventure-seeking rock stars, but after spending 20 long years pursuing careers in archaeology we now see that was a lie perpetuated by Big Hollywood.   So we created Digman! to finally bring our childhood dreams to life.

‘Plus, we noticed a dearth of new TV shows recently and figured it was wholly on us to bring the world what it’s missing the most: content.’

The series launches in the US on March 22 and is due to air on Comedy Central UK from some time in April.
