The Search Party story begins with Dory (Shawkat), a “fragile, frustrated, life-long doormat who’s not particuarly proud of her impact on the world” becoming obsessed with the disappearance of a college classmate she didn’t know very well. She winds up enlisting her unobservant boyfriend Drew (Reynolds), narcissist buddy Elliot (Early) and self-consumed actress friend Portia (Hagner) in a mission to find the missing woman.

TBS ordered the self-funded pilot from Jax Media (Inside Amy Schumer, Broad City) earlier this year. You can check out a trailer for Search Party below.

Shawkat’s recent TV credits include Broad City, Drunk History, and Getting On.
