You may have a sunny disposition, hell you may even be an optimist, but you will still never have the overall ecstatic outlook on life that Kimmy Schmidt maintains. The first season of Tina Fey's recent brainchild Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt proved itself as a unequivocal hit for Netflix, and such success means we will obviously be getting much more of the show very soon. A new promo for the series has just hit the web, and it promises much more of the same hilariously upbeat tone. Check it out below to see for yourself.
In a promo that pays clear tribute to this month’s Fashion Week, the video sees Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s three lead characters – Jacqueline Voorhees (Jane Krakowski), Titus (Tituss Burgess), and Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) – showing off how (not so) trendy they can be. As they do their little runway walk, different styles of the season pop on screen inspired by instantly iconic quotes from last season, such as “hashbrown no filter,” “peeno noir caviar,” and “stranger danger ranger.”
Of course, nothing can ever stay completely chic when Kimmy Schmidt is involved. The promo ends with her throwing out a handful of confetti, cracking that goofy smile that Ellie Kemper has become famous for, and allowing the color palette to go hot pink and yellow as the series’ endlessly upbeat theme song begins to ring out.
For newcomers to the series, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt centers upon a young woman recently rescued from a cult after 15 years. Spending most of her life in an underground bunker, she decides to set out a new course of herself and make it in the big city. Having grown up in such odd circumstances, she possesses very little self-awareness, which sometimes limits her, but often allows her to persevere where more cynical people might falter. Along the way she moves in with a gay street performer named Titus, and begins to nanny for a vapid New York mom named Jacqueline Voorhees.
Netflix clearly has a great deal of enthusiasm and confidence surrounding this project. Although this promo is meant to get us excited about the show’s upcoming second season, the online streaming company has already renewed the young series for a third. As long as this means the genius of Tina Fey is kept firmly in our lives, we are in no position to complain.
If that promo doesn’t get you excited for the upcoming return of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, then I hate to break it to you: you’re a heartless bastard. The hit series will return to Netflix on April 15 for your binge-watching pleasure.
