Andy Samberg Shocks Hollywood: New Comedy Project & SNL Comeback Details Revealed

Fans of Andy Samberg are about to get a double dose of the Emmy-winning comedian this summer, even if one project is running fashionably late. Digman! Season 2 slides to July 23 Comedy Central has quietly pushed the sophomore season of Samberg’s animated archeology spoof “Digman!” from July 9 to July 23 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, pairing the premiere with the equally delayed 27th season of “South Park.” While the network hasn’t explained the reshuffle, insiders say the two-week gap gives the promo team extra runway and creates a Wednesday night animation block designed to hold viewers through late summer. What to expect in the “Digman!” return • Samberg’s swaggering adventurer Rip Digman tries to recover the lost city of El Dorado after a rival treasure hunter live-streams a fake discovery. • Guest voices this season include Seth Meyers, Maya Rudolph and “Community” alum Gillian Jacobs, all riffing on celebrity archaeology hype. • Writers Rob Klein and John Solomon promise “even deeper museum lore” and an episode parodying true-crime podcasts—complete with Lonely Island-style musical hooks. Momoa + Samberg = Netflix’s next buddy blockbuster While the cartoon counts down, Samberg has already lined up his next live-action showcase: a still-untitled action comedy for Netflix opposite “Aquaman” star Jason Momoa. The movie is set in Hawaii and will be produced by Samberg’s Party Over Here banner alongside Momoa’s On The Roam, with SNL veterans Klein and Solomon scripting. Industry chatter points to a “Rush Hour-meets-Jumanji” tone and a 2026 release window, giving Samberg his first big-budget franchise lead. A packed release calendar • August 29 – “The Roses,” Samberg’s dark-comedy remake with Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch, hits theaters. • Fall 2025 – “SNL 50” digital shorts drop on Peacock, featuring new Lonely Island tracks teased during last season’s milestone episode. • TBA – The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers Podcast returns for a second batch of weekly shows after debuting in spring. Why the timing matters Search interest in “Andy Samberg” spikes whenever new comedy content lands, and the staggered schedule means sustained buzz from mid-July through Labor Day. Viewers who tune in for “Digman!” will roll straight into big-screen promotion for “The Roses,” while Momoa’s fandom amplifies anticipation for the Netflix pairing. Bottom line From late-night cartoons to surf-and-turf buddy movies, Andy Samberg’s 2025 slate is calibrated to keep his name trending all summer—and give comedy lovers plenty to watch while they wait for the next Lonely Island earworm.
