Emmy Award nominees Denis Leary (Rescue Me, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll) and O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale, Black Widow) are rounding out the cast of the Netflix 8-episode series No Good Deed, starring Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow.

Leary 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.

Fagbenle 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.

Created by Liz Feldman, 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.

Linda Cardinelli, Luke Wilson, Abbi Jacobson and Poppy Liu also star.

Feldman serves as showrunner and executive produces with Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum for Gloria Sanchez Productions, Christie Smith as well as Silver Tree, who will direct the pilot and additional episodes. Sherry Thomas and Russell Scott oversee casting.
