Netflix has announcedHarry Potterstar Daniel Radcliffe will star in the upcoming interactive special for theUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The streaming platform has received some mixed reactions to its interactive content, specifically with theBlack Mirror: Bandersnatchmovie. It did premiere to huge numbers, according to Netflix. However, this one will be a bit more lighthearted than that and it sounds like it could be fun forUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidtfans.
In theUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidtinteractive special, Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) sets off on what Netflix is calling “her biggest adventure yet.” The show will take place in three states and it will include explosions and a dancing hamburger, which sounds a bit like the singing and dancing hamburger fromBetter Off Dead. It’s going to be incredibly hard to top a hamburger singing and playing guitar to Van Halen’s “Everybody Wants Some” while John Cusack acts like a demented Dr. Frankenstein.
TheUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidtviewers are the ones who get to decide how the story goes. Will you foil the Reverend’s (Jon Hamm) evil plan and get Kimmy to her wedding on time? Or will you accidentally start a war against the robots? GettingDaniel Radcliffeon board for the interactive special should get even more viewers than the show would normally get. With that being said, it isn’t clear exactly what he’ll be doing in the episode. Fans of the hit show are more than likely just happy to have some more content after the fourth and final season wrapped earlier this year.
