Six episodes from season four will reach Netflix on the 30 May, with the second half's premiere date remaining without a release date.
A trailer for the upcoming episodes has been uploaded online, featuring Ellie Kemper's character heading to work at the fictional tech company Giztoob. While all starts well, Kimmy's smile soon disappears as her new boss tasks her with firing another employee.
The series, which first started streaming in 2015, has been highly acclaimed, garnering 16 Emmy nominations, each previous season managing an Outstanding Comedy nomination.
