The trailer for No Good Deed is here, and it’s serving Desperate House Flippers Gone Wild. Starring Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow as Lydia and Paul—two empty nesters with a Spanish-style villa and a past—this Netflix series is a masterclass in how not to sell your house.
Here’s the tea: Lydia and Paul have decided it’s time to ditch their beautiful 1920s Los Angeles dream home because, well, things got weird. Think HGTV meets Dateline. The trailer teases a real estate frenzy as eager families swarm like bees to an open house, hoping this villa will solve all their wildly unrelated personal dramas. Spoiler alert: buying a house doesn’t fix your marriage, Gary.
The couple, played hilariously by Romano and Kudrow, has bigger problems than just picking the right asking price. Turns out, their home sweet home is more like “home suspicious home,” and they’ve got some serious skeletons in the walk-in closet. (Literally? Maybe!) While the buyers are dreaming of remodeled bathrooms and Pinterest-worthy patios, Lydia and Paul are trying to figure out if they can sell the place without also selling their shady secrets.
The cast is stacked like a property with “custom upgrades.” You’ve got Linda Cardellini, O-T Fagbenle, Abbi Jacobson, Denis Leary (probably being sarcastic), Poppy Liu, Teyonah Parris, and Luke Wilson. Plus, guest stars galore, including Matt Rogers, Kate Moennig, Chloe East, and Linda Lavin. Basically, this show is Netflix saying, “We brought everyone you love—watch it.”
Brought to you by Liz Feldman, the genius behind Dead to Me, No Good Deed is set to premiere on December 12th, just in time for your holiday binge-a-thon. Pro tip: maybe don’t watch it while house hunting—it might make you question every squeaky floorboard and mysterious attic.
Mark your calendars and prepare to laugh, cringe, and possibly Google “What happens if I sell a haunted house?” This is one open house you don’t want to miss!
