Why it fits: Dig and Ride or Die both turn an unlikely team into the source of the comedy, with danger closing in around people who are far outside their comfort zone.

Why it fits: Dig turns a buried mystery into comic chaos, and Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed brings the same mix of amateur sleuthing, danger, and laughs. The excavation crew’s clash between serious archaeologists and summer students gives way to a newly divorced mother’s messy detective work, with custody pressure and murder making her suburban mystery darker.

Why it fits: Dig turns a ragtag crew into a lively adventure, and The Doomies brings the same mix of friendship, jokes, and danger to a spooky mystery. Dig’s archaeologists and summer students clash as a buried secret draws danger closer, while two best friends in The Doomies face monsters and growing trouble after opening a portal.
Why it fits
Dig turns a buried secret into a dangerous treasure hunt, and Outer Banks gives that clue-chasing a brisk, sun-soaked adventure with a loyal group of friends. Its ongoing romances and class rivalries make the ride more teen-centered and emotionally charged than Dig’s archaeologist-and-student ensemble.
Why it fits
Dig’s ragtag team gets pulled together by a discovery that could rewrite history; Inside The Circle puts friendship under pressure when a video exposes secrets. The mystery is more intimate and suspenseful, focused on trust and betrayal rather than excavation, conspiracy, and comic adventure.
Why it fits
Dig’s summer crew stumbles into danger through a buried secret, while Cash Queens turns desperate friends into bank robbers facing increasingly absurd complications. Both bring ensemble chaos and real trouble, but Cash Queens trades treasure-hunt mystery for heist comedy and the scramble to stay ahead.
