Well, maybe everybody is actually weary of Raymond…
“Everybody Loves Raymond” star Ray Romano partners with fellow comedy icon Lisa Kudrow for mystery-comedy series “No Good Deed,” hailing from “Dead to Me” creator Liz Feldman.
The Netflix series is produced by Will Ferrell’s production company Gloria Sanchez Productions, and boasts an ensemble cast including Denis Leary, Abbi Jacobson, Poppy Liu, O-T Fagbenle, Teyonah Parris, Luke Wilson, Linda Cardellini, Matt Rogers, Rory Scovel, and Linda Lavin.
The official synopsis reads: “When Lydia (Kudrow) and Paul (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 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.”
Feldman is the showrunner and executive produces; “You” and “Dead to Me” director Silver Tree directs and also serves as executive producer.
“No Good Deed” is a reunion of sorts, with Feldman again teaming up with “Dead to Me” star Cardellini and producers Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum.
And while the “No Good Deed” series is keeping it all in the Feldman creative family, “No Good Deed” star Romano has another (literal) family project in the works: his identical twin sons Matt and Greg Romano co-direct documentary “The Romano Twins,” which is executive produced by another set of brothers, Mark and Jay Duplass. Ray Romano appears in the documentary and is interviewed to discuss the various challenges of being a parent of twins. The film debuted at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival with CAA handling sales. Mel Eslyn also executive produces the feature.
“No Good Deed” premieres December 12 on Netflix. Check out the trailer below.
