Netflix is no stranger to serving up drama, but its latest dark comedy, No Good Deed, promises to take viewers on a rollercoaster ride through real estate dreams and terrifying nightmares. Premiering December 12, this new show from Dead to Me creator Liz Feldman puts Emmy-winning Lisa Kudrow and comedic powerhouse Ray Romano at the center of a tale that’s more nail-biting than heartwarming.
Meet Lydia and Paul, a couple of empty-nesters looking to turn the page by selling their stunning century-old home in Los Angeles. Sounds like a typical suburban storyline, right? Think again. As soon as the house hits the market, a frenzy erupts. Desperate families, each with their own baggage, scramble to make this their “forever home.” But in No Good Deed, that dream home might just be a Pandora’s box. The closer these buyers get, the darker things become—both figuratively and literally.
Without giving too much away, the teaser hints at ominous secrets lurking within the walls of Lydia and Paul’s once-idyllic abode. From unsettling glimpses through holes in walls to dangerous confrontations involving handguns and table saws, the couple’s past is clawing its way into the present. And as prospective buyers start seeing “vibes darker than expected,” Lydia and Paul realize that their attempts to bury old skeletons might come back to haunt them—literally. The question is: Will they be able to escape the very house they thought would give them a fresh start?
With an ensemble cast that includes Linda Cardellini, O-T Fagbenle, Luke Wilson, and Teyonah Parris, No Good Deed promises a thrilling mix of laugh-out-loud moments and edge-of-your-seat suspense. If the teaser is any indication, December 12 will mark the start of a twisted, highly addictive tale of real estate gone wrong.
As Feldman herself put it, the show was born out of her own obsessive Zillow scrolling during the early days of the pandemic—a relatable pastime that quickly spiraled into this unique, anxiety-inducing comedy. With executive producers Will Ferrell and Silver Tree on board, this series is bound to deliver gut-wrenching tension and dark humor in equal measure.
Brace yourselves—No Good Deed might just make you think twice before listing your house!
