Michael Schur is reuniting with a few familiar faces for his upcoming Peacock comedy "DIG."

Jason Mantzoukas and Max Greenfield, who both recently appeared in Season 2 of Schur's "A Man on the Inside," have joined the Amy Poehler-led series, alongside Dan Bucatinsky, who worked with Schur on "Hacks."

Co-created by Schur and Poehler, "DIG" follows a team of archaeologists and college students whose discovery of a rare artifact leads to an unexpected adventure. Mantzoukas, who also worked with Schur on "Parks and Recreation," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "The Good Place," will recur as Lambros, "a local store owner and occasional looter of the treasures unearthed at the dig site"; Greenfield will guest-star as Andrew, "a high-society art dealer"; and Bucatinsky will play Fritz, "a New York museum director."

Additionally, Brennan Lee Mulligan ("Ted") will recur as Marcus "M.R." Robertson Jr., "a wealthy dilettante who is trying to decide whether to donate money to support the dig," while Noma Dumezweni ("Law & Order: SVU") will play Evelyn, the mother of Antonia Thomas' Clare, "who looms very large in Clare's life and weighs in on her decisions whether Clare wants her to or not."

All 10 episodes drop Monday, November 23.
