Chip and Joanna Gaines have nothing on these houseflippers. On Thursday, Showtime released the official trailer for The Curse, a dark comedy series that follows an HGTV-esque couple played by Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder. The 10-episode series is set to hit Showtime on Nov. 10.
“This isn’t your typical home-flipping show,” Stone declares as she shows off some of the homes during an interview. “And we’re husband and wife. So, what could go wrong?”

The visual sees Fielder being directed to give a little girl $100 while being filmed on the street. But everything starts to crumble after he yanks the bill back from the little girl, and she ominously declares, “I curse you.” (It’s as creepy as it sounds.)
“We’re doing good here,” Fielder says in the trailer. “We are good people.”
From that moment, everything changes in the trailer, teasing the couple’s unfortunate downfall. The trailer sees the couple struggle in their relationship, Stone being watched by cameras, getting rocks thrown at their home, and a strange fight in a bowling alley. “Everyone will get to see how you really are,” a creepy voiceover warns.
The series was co-created by Fielder and Benny Safdie, who’s also in the show, and is described as “a genre-bending series that explores how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring in their new home-improvement show.”
The Curse is Fielder’s newest project since his HBO TV series, The Rehearsal, which was recently renewed for a second season. As for Stone, she starred as Cruella De Vil in Cruella in 2021. Her last TV show appearance was in the miniseries Maniac in 2018.
The Curse is set to air on Showtime on Nov. 12 after it hits streaming on Paramount+’s Showtime on Nov. 10.
