Documentary Now! Plot and Cast

The idea for the series is derived from a pre-tape short film from Saturday Night Live where Armisen, Hader, Meyers were former cast members. All the three seasons have received critical acclaim and audiences are expecting more from the upcoming season.
Coming to the cast, Helen Mirren has been presenting the show since the first season and she is expected to come back in Season 4. No other changes has been announced until now.
