Comedy Central's hit series "Drunk History" is all set to premiere its fourth season in September, and Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda will narrate an episode featuring the rivalry between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.

Aside from the "Hamilton" story, the Emmy-winning comedy will feature Paget Brewster as she narrates the friendship between First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (Busy Philipps) and Soviet soldier Lyudmila Pavlichenko (Mae Whitman). The said story will also touch on their fight for women's rights during that time.

During an interview with Deadline, co-creator Derek Waters recently shared their plans for the upcoming season. Instead of focusing on a city, they want to shed light on a certain theme just like the scenario in the first season. Episode 1 is entitled "Great Escapes" and it will feature narrator Duncan Trussell as he tells a story about "LSD propaganda-ist" Timothy Leary. He was later on prosecuted but he had to take a test first in order to determine which type of prison he should be sent. However, the twist was that Leary made the test himself. "He was able to fill it out, so he could get in a minimum-security prison and escape," Trussell explained.

Some of the many guest stars for the 10-episode season include Kat Dennings, Aubrey Plaza, Ronda Rousey, Elizabeth Olsen, Liev Schreiber, Rachel Bilson, Michael Cera, Billie Joe Armstrong, Steve Berg, Josh Charles, Ben Folds, Dave Grohl, Tony Hale, Ed Helms, Thomas Middleditch, Alia Shawkat, Duncan Trussell and more.

"Drunk History" is a comedy show based on the Funny or Die web series created by Jeremy Konner and Derek Waters back in 2007. Every episode includes an inebriated narrator portrayed by a comedian along with host Waters. Together, they recount a significant event from American history as the actors enact the narrator's story and lip sync the dialogue.

"Drunk History" season 4 premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 10:30 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.
