A well timed matter.

Peacock has launched the primary official trailer for Ed Helms‘ new comedy Rutherford Falls, set to premiere on NBCU’s streaming service on Thursday, Apr. 22.

From co-creators Mike Schur (The Workplace, The Good Place), Helms and Sierra Teller Ornelas, the brand new collection follows two lifelong greatest buddies, Nathan Rutherford (Helms) and Reagan Wells (Jana Schmieding), who discover themselves at a crossroads when their sleepy city will get an surprising wakeup name.

As the primary look signifies, the collection may be very well timed because the city grapples with its personal historical past and a debate about shifting a statue of 1 its historic figures. “4 hundred years in the past, my patriarchal ancestor Lawrence Rutherford based our city,” Helms says within the trailer. “I’m the steward of my household’s legacy, that may resonate all through historical past.”

The present can even focus closely in town’s Native American group. “This city has forgotten ow to honor their ancestors,” Michael Greyeyes‘ character shares.
