Lady Dynamite: First trailer for Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz’s new Netflix show

'This is the true story of a woman who loses - and then finds - her sh*t.'

Netflix has posted the first trailer for Lady Dynamite, a new original from Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz and South Park co-writer Pam Brady.

A comedy-cum-mockumentary, it stars Maria Bramford and is described as the story of a woman losing, and then finding, her shit.

Judging by the trailer it looks a lot like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but with the protagonist’s hyperactivity having more serious consequences.

Here’s the synopsis from Netflix:

‘Based on what she has accepted to be “her life,” the semi-autobiographical, semi-surreal series is a truthful look at the highs and lows of Bamford’s life -- as an actor on the rise, during her hospitalization for bipolar disorder, and through her present life in LA, where she’s reached a middle ground and found love.’

Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, Jenny Slate and Dean Cain​ will all make guest appearances in the first season of Lady Dynamite, which consists of 12 episodes, all of which go live on 20 May.
