“LAID” TRAILER

“Laid” stars Stephanie Hsu as Ruby who now has the task of not only looking for love but also figure out why her former lovers are getting killed. Lucky for her she has her true crime podcast-loving best friend AJ, played by Zoia Mamet.

Joining these ladies on the series are guest stars Simu Liu, Kate Berlant, and Alexandra Shipp. Along with the previously announced guest stars Andre Hyland, David Denman, John Early, Ettore “Big E” Ewen, Chloe Fineman, Olivia Holt, and Finneas O’Connell.

A NOTE FROM THE CREATORS

Here is what co-showrunners, executive producers, and writers Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford Mckenna have to say about the series:

When we started to develop LAID, we were intrigued by the idea of bringing back the old-school, traditional romantic comedy (swelling music! Kisses in the Rain! Anne Hathaway or someone who is also appealing!), but because we were living in such a dark time (pandemic! industry strikes!), we felt it needed to have some kind of twist. Sure, it could be optimistic and heartwarming and make you believe in love again, but it should probably also have suspense and death and blood. The premise of LAID — a woman discovers all of her exes are dying in mysterious ways — seemed exactly what we were looking for: a f*cked-up rom-com.
