Netflix today announced the additions of Denis Leary and O-T Fagbenle to No Good Deed, a new dark comedy series from creator and executive producer Liz Feldman (Dead to Me).
Denis Leary (Rescue Me, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, Animal Kingdom, The Moodys) plays “Mikey” – An intense ex-con whose debts have driven him to desperate measures, Mikey finds himself in a dark hole after a terrible accident derailed his sobriety and pulled him away from his family.
Emmy Award®-nominated O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale, Black Widow, Maxxx.) plays “Dennis” – A tirelessly upbeat, deeply anxious, and overly appeasing struggling writer, Dennis is in the market for a new family home for wife Carla (Teyonah Parris) and their baby on the way. He’s eager to play the role of supportive husband and father, while being caught in the middle of a tense relationship between his new wife and his overly-enmeshed mother
No Good Deed is a half-hour, dark comedy that follows three very different families vying to buy the very same 1920s Spanish-style villa that they think will solve all their problems. But as the sellers have already discovered, sometimes the home of your dreams can be a total nightmare.
