Next month, former "Arrested Development" star Alia Shawkat is set to return to TV with "Search Party," TBS' new offbeat comedy series about a Brooklyn hipster (Shawkat) who, after becoming obsessed with a missing-person case involving her old buddy from college, tries to recruit her self-absorbed friends to form a volunteer search party.
Comedian/filmmaker Michael Showalter (Wet Hot American Summer, Hello, My Name Is Doris) created the half-hour series alongside Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers, the writing-directing team behind the quirky hipster comedy "Fort Tilden."
"Search Party" also stars John Early, John Reynolds, Meredith Hagner, Brandon Micheal Hall, and Rosie Perez. It's scheduled to premiere Monday, November 21 on the TBS network. Watch a new trailer, above.
synopsis:
Search Party centers on Dory (Alia Shawkat), a fragile, frustrated, life-long doormat who is not particularly proud of her impact on the world, especially since her greatest accomplishment to date is organizing clothes to be donated to Goodwill for her wealthy employer. Dory feels stuck in a stale and disconnected relationship with her boyfriend, Drew (John Reynolds), a kind of clueless, complacent, spoon-fed doofus who just really loves Christmas. She also feels removed from her closest friends, Elliott (John Early), a self-diagnosed narcissist who loves adding job titles to his designer-stylist-curator multi-hyphenate lifestyle, and Portia (Meredith Hagner), an actress always struggling to balance the challenging demands of chronic insecurity and pathological self-absorption.
Search Party opens with Dory learning that Chantal, a girl she barely knew in college, has gone missing. Despite having almost no personal connection to her, Dory becomes fixated on the mystery. Dory, Drew, Elliott and Portia are not crime solvers; they value brunch, parties and their own loud opinions. So when Dory drags them into a bumbling, perilous pursuit to find the missing girl, they soon learn the meaning of real danger and become entangled in a sinister plot that is more than their privileged Brooklyn lifestyles ever bargained for.
