The followup special is set to air in 2020.

"In the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special, Kimmy Schmidt (Kemper) sets off on her biggest adventure yet. Three states! Explosions! A dancing hamburger! And you, the viewer, get to decide how the story goes," a press release said. "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?"

A photo posted on the Netflix Twitter feed said Radcliffe will be playing a character named Frederick.
