Tina Fey's new show 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' moves from NBC to Netflix

2014 NBC Upfront Presentation


Last year, NBC announced it would be home to a new show produced by Tina Fey (30 Rock, SNL) and starring Ellie Kemper (The Office), but now that show's going straight to Netflix. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will premiere across all of Netflix's territories in March with its 13-episode first season, and Netflix has already signed it up for a second. According to NBC exec Rob Greenblatt, the move is a result of NBC's "very drama-heavy mid-season schedule", and he calls Netflix's two-season pickup a win-win for everyone. The comedy series is about a woman who starts over in New York after leaving the cult where she's lived for the last 15 years, armed with "a backpack, light-up sneakers, and a couple of way-past-due library books."
