"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?” asks Netflix’s official announcement.

Cast returning for the interactive special include Kemper, Tituss Burgess (Titus), Jane Krakowski (Jacqueline) and Carol Kane (Lillian), as well as Jon Hamm, who plays Kimmy’s abusive kidnapper, the Rev Dr Richard Wayne Gary Wayne.
