Netflix is at it again! They’ve dropped a teaser for their newest dark comedy No Good Deed—brought to you by the mastermind behind Dead to Me, Liz Feldman. Yep, the same person who made us laugh, cry, and question life all at the same time. Set your calendars for December 12 because that’s when the madness begins. And when I say “madness,” I mean the kind of chaos that makes you reconsider ever owning property.
So, here’s the lowdown: Lydia (played by the forever iconic Lisa Kudrow) and Paul (Ray Romano, who is somehow always both sad and hilarious) are what we like to call “empty nesters”—aka, their kids have flown the coop, and now they’re left alone to realize that they don’t actually like each other that much. Naturally, the best way to solve this mid-life crisis is to sell their ridiculously gorgeous, 100-year-old house in the most L.A. neighborhood ever. Why? Because nothing screams “let’s fix our marriage!” like the stress of real estate transactions and home repairs.
Cue the wild parade of desperate homebuyers, each family convinced that this house will solve their very unique problems. Spoiler: They’re all wrong. Whether it’s fixing marriages, relationships, or making you look ten years younger (I’m looking at you, midlife crisis guy), they all think this dream home will solve everything. And by everything, I mean everything. Little do they know, Lydia and Paul are harboring some seriously spooky skeletons in their stylish closets. Oh, and did I mention the house might be haunted by the ghost of terrible decisions? Yeah, good luck flipping that on HGTV.
As the hopeful homebuyers fight over the house like it’s the last avocado toast in L.A., Lydia and Paul realize that they have more problems than a leaky roof. Dark secrets start bubbling up from their home’s foundation (and no, it’s not a plumbing issue), and soon they figure out the only way to truly move on is to confront their past head-on—preferably with less awkward conversations and more wine.
The cast is stacked with a who’s who of talent: Linda Cardellini (yes, Velma from Scooby-Doo is back, baby!), O-T Fagbenle (seriously underrated), Abbi Jacobson (doing something other than Broad City, shocking), Denis Leary (who, I assume, plays a snarky chain-smoking contractor), Teyonah Parris, Luke Wilson (you know, the other Wilson brother), and a star-studded guest list that’ll make you pause and say, “Wait, is that…?”
Buckle up, because this show’s gonna be a hilarious rollercoaster of real estate regrets, skeletons in closets (literal or not), and the kind of dark humor that’ll make you question why you ever thought adulting was a good idea.
Watch the teaser, because trust me—you’ll want to see this mess unfold.
