First Look: New Dark Comedy Series, ‘No Good Deed,’ Starring Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano
Get ready for a new binge-worthy series coming to Netflix. “No Good Deed” is an upcoming half-hour comedy series created by Liz Feldman, best known for her Emmy-nominated series “Dead to Me,” starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. Today, the first teaser was released, hinting at the dark secrets to come in the new show.
“No Good Deed” Ensemble Cast
The eight-episode series boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Lisa Kudrow, Ray Romano, Linda Cardellini, O-T Fagbenle, Luke Wilson, Poppy Liu, Abbi Jacobson, Teyonah Parris, and Dennis Leary. Guest stars include Matt Rogers, Chloe East, Kate Moennig, Kevin Alves, Rory Scovel, Anna Maria Horsford, and Linda Lavin, along with Wyatt Aubrey.
Premise
“No Good Deed” follows Lydia and Paul Morgan (played by Kudrow and Romano) as they attempt to sell their desirable Los Angeles home. The attractive neighborhood and unique style sparks a real estate frenzy, but the couple must navigate their own hidden secrets. As they grapple with these issues, they realize they must confront their pasts before moving on to a new future. As Poppy Liu’s character notes in the trailer, “It kinda has a dark vibe.” We can’t wait to see what secrets are being kept and how they unfold.
Descriptions of the characters were revealed, with Ray’s reading, “Paul Morgan, a stressed and flat-broke contractor desperate to retire, pay off his debts, and escape LA. He thinks selling his beautiful Los Feliz home is the solution to all his and his wife Lydia’s problems, but his past mistakes will continue to haunt him.”
Kudrow’s is, “Paul’s wife, Lydia Morgan, a highly talented (and highly strung) former concert pianist. Lydia is devoted to Paul, and she’s a loving, though flawed, mother to their two children. She is distraught by the idea of selling their Los Feliz home, a place filled with happy memories and dark secrets.”
