Netflix has shared the official trailer and release date for This Is a Gardening Show, the streamer’s newest collaboration with Emmy winner Zach Galifianakis after 2019’s Between Two Ferns: The Movie. This marks The Hangover star’s first major TV show, after his recurring role in Only Murders in the Building Season 4.
“Rather than positioning himself as an expert, Galifianakis approaches the subject with curiosity and self-effacing humor, with the goal of learning alongside his audience and giving viewers valuable, accessible, and educational tools to use in their own gardens,” reads the official logline. “The series blends lighthearted comedy with a sincere appreciation for people and the planet, and is ultimately about the joy of connecting with the earth.”

When is the release date for Zach Galifianakis’ This Is a Gardening Show?
This Is A Gardening Show is scheduled to start streaming on April 22, just in time for Earth Day. Hosted by Galifianakis, the six-episode series is described as a refreshing and whimsical take on gardening.
The docuseries is directed by Brook Linder, with Chris Kim serving as a producer. In addition to leading the show, Galifianakis is also executive producing alongside Frank Schema and Jon Kamen. It is a production by RadicalMedia in association with Billios Productions.
“Zach brings an infectious warmth and humor that makes the world of gardening accessible and delightful for all ages,” Kim said in a statement. “He can leave you in stitches one moment and, in the next breath, have you genuinely convinced that horse manure is the chocolate soufflé of the gardening world, and before you know it, you’re googling the nearest stable.”
Linder added, “He is genuinely interested in how to grow stuff. Making this show often felt like Zach’s excuse to talk to other gardeners. I kinda think his garden was struggling, and he needed help. He couldn’t get by walking up to these people in their backyard. You will see a grown man honestly gasp when shown the proper way to plant a seed. This is peak TV.”
