The series centers around “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,” per the official synopsis. Leary will play an intense ex-con whose debts have driven him to desperate measures.

Additionally, O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale) will co-star as a struggling writer in search of a new home for him and his pregnant wife (The Marvels’ Teyonah Parris).

As previously reported, the ensemble also includes Linda Cardellini (Dead to Me), Luke Wilson (DC’s Stargirl), Abbi Jacobson (A League of Their Own) and Poppy Liu (Hacks).
