Real estate is cutthroat — just ask anyone who’s tried to buy a house in the decade. And in a competitive market like Los Angeles, even more so. In the upcoming Netflix series No Good Deed, a couple looking to sell their house accidentally creates a frenzy, as people start to go to extremes to be the one to snap it up off the market. But even a dream house can be a nightmare…
Here’s the official synopsis of No Good Deed from Netflix:
When Lydia (Lisa Kudrow) and Paul (Ray Romano) decide to move on from their empty nest to forge a new life, they list their gorgeous 1920s Spanish-style villa located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Los Angeles – and the real estate frenzy begins. Multiple families all race to buy what they believe to be their dream house, convinced it will fix all of their very different problems. But as Lydia and Paul know all too well, sometimes the home of your dreams can be a true nightmare. As they struggle to hide the dark and dangerous secrets that linger inside their longtime home, Paul and Lydia begin to realize that the only way they’ll escape the past is to finally face it.
The series comes from Emmy-winning creator and showrunner Liz Feldman. Feldman previously created the series Dead to Me for Netflix, which also starred Linda Cardellini. In addition to Cardellini, Kudrow, and Romano, No Good Deed’s cast also includes O-T Fagbenle, Abbi Jacobson, Denis Leary, Poppy Liu, Teyonah Parris, and Luke Wilson.
