LOS ANGELES, December 19, 2025 – Actress Antonia Thomas, known for her compelling role in “The Good Doctor,” is joining the cast of Peacock’s upcoming comedy series, “Dig.” The show, a collaboration between comedic powerhouses Amy Poehler and Mike Schur, promises a blend of humor and intrigue as it explores the lives of women uncovering a potentially history-altering secret.
A Comedic Dig into History and Hidden Lives
“Dig” centers on four women at an archeological site in Greece, navigating personal crossroads while stumbling upon a conspiracy that could rewrite the past.
- Antonia Thomas will portray Clare, the head preservationist overseeing the dig site’s lab and museum.
- The series, created by Amy Poehler and Mike Schur, is set against the backdrop of an archeological dig in Greece.
- “Dig” explores themes of personal growth, international intrigue, and the potential to uncover long-buried truths.
- Thomas joins previously announced cast members Poehler, Hugh Laurie, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Fina Strazza.
Thomas’s character, Clare, is described as someone most at ease within a world of privilege, finding herself slightly out of her element in the more rugged, practical environment of the archeological dig. This dynamic promises a compelling character arc as Clare navigates both professional challenges and personal adjustments.
What kind of secrets could an archeological dig unearth that would spark an international conspiracy? “Dig” aims to answer that question, following the four women as they grapple with their individual lives and the implications of their discovery.
Thomas is widely recognized for her portrayal of Claire Browne in “The Good Doctor” on ABC, a role she held as a series regular for four seasons, with additional appearances in Seasons 5 and 7.

She is currently slated to appear in BBC’s “Two Weeks in August” and Britbox’s “Agatha Christie’s Tommy & Tuppence.”
“Dig” boasts a robust list of executive producers, including Schur for Fremulon, Kate Arend and Jordan Grief for Paper Kite, writer J.J. Philbin, director Dean Holland, Morgan Sackett, Dave Becky and David Miner for 3 Arts, and Sharon Jackson for Ocean Avenue. Kate Myers serves as co-executive producer. Universal Television is the studio behind the project.
