Back in November, news hit that Tina Fey's upcoming sitcom, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, would make its premiere on Netflix after NBC sold the rights and pulled a mid-season premiere. Now, we're getting a peek at the series with the release of its very first trailer.

Created by Upper Darby native Tina Fey and 30 Rock's Robert Carlock, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt revolves around the journey of a woman named Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) who leaves a doomsday cult after living as a member for 15 years. Our heroine moves to New York City, finds a job with Jane Krakowski's character and a roommate in Tituss Burgess, and starts her life over again — presumably with hilarity ensuing all along the way.

The series will make its Netflix premiere on March 6, with all 13 episodes of the first season going up at once. And, what's more, Netflix has already guaranteed a second season, so don't worry too much about blowing through those first episodes too quickly.

Aside from Kemper and Krakowski, Kimmy Schmidt's cast also includes Emmy winner Carol Kane, Sol Miranda, Lauren Adams, and Sara Chase. And, as eagle-eyed fans will note, former CBS3 anchor Robin Reiger makes an appearance in the trailer as—what else?—a reporter.
