''Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'' is an American sitcom created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, starring Ellie Kemper in the titular role, that has streamed on Netflix since March 6, 2015.〔 Originally set for a 13-episode first season on NBC for spring 2015, the show was sold to Netflix and given a two-season order. The series follows 29-year-old Kimmy Schmidt (Kemper) as she adjusts to life in New York City after her rescue from a doomsday cult in Indiana where she and three other women were held by Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm) for 15 years. Determined to be seen as something other than a victim and armed only with a positive attitude, Kimmy decides to restart her life by moving to New York City, where she quickly befriends her street-wise landlady Lillian Kaushtupper (Carol Kane), finds a roommate in struggling actor Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess), and gains a job as a nanny for the melancholy and out-of-touch socialite Jacqueline Voorhees (Jane Krakowski). With their help, Kimmy struggles to adapt to an unfamiliar world and jump-start the adult life that had been taken away from her. Since its premiere, the show has received critical acclaim, with some critics calling it "the first great sitcom of the streaming era". On July 16, 2015, the series was nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series. ==Production and development== The genesis of the show was Tina Fey and Robert Carlock being asked to develop a show for Ellie Kemper. Fey has stated that they found an "innocence" about her face, but also noted there was a "strength" to it.〔 One idea was for the show to center on Kemper's character waking up from a coma, although this was ditched in favor of the cult survivor storyline.〔 The show was initially under development for NBC under the title "Tooken." However, this was later changed to the current title. Eventually NBC sold the series to Netflix. Fey has stated that this was in part due to NBC "not feeling confident about watching comedies." Prior to the network switch, NBC planned to air the series as either a mid-season replacement or as a summer series.〔 Casting announcements on the remaining roles began in March 2014, with Tituss Burgess cast in the role of Titus, Kimmy's roommate, an extremely talented singer who works odd entertaining jobs such as dressing up like a robot in Times Square or as a singing waiter at a theme restaurant. Shortly afterwards, Sara Chase and Lauren Adams joined the series. Chase signed onto the role of Cyndee, Kimmy's closest friend during their years in the cult; while Adams was cast in the role of Gretchen, a 10-year member of the cult, who believes everything that they were told. Jane Krakowski was later cast in the role of Jacqueline Voorhees, a wealthy Manhattanite who hires Kimmy as a nanny. The role was originated by Megan Dodds before she was replaced with Krakowski. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
