Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Watch the trailer for Tina Fey's new Netflix sitcom
If you're still mourning the loss of 30 Rock, mark your calendars for the Netflix premiere of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The new sitcom, which was co-written and co-created by Tina Fey, returns to New York City for another round of high-energy comedy.
