Fans of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are in for a treat. Netflix just announced they are reviving the TV show for a new interactive special.
From Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, the comedy series stars Ellie Kemper as Kimmy Schmidt, a young woman who moves to New York City to make a life for herself after being rescued from a doomsday cult. The cast also includes Tituss Burgess, Carol Kane, Jane Krakowski, Jon Hamm, Fred Armisen, and Mike Carlsen.
Even though Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt debuted its final episodes earlier this year, Netflix is bringing the show back for a new special. According to Tina Fey, the interactive special will allow fans to “make choices on behalf of our characters, taking different story paths with, of course, different jokes.”
