Netflix is teaming up with writer and comedian Liz Feldman, the creator of Dead to Me, for her second comedy series on the platform, No Good Deed. The series will follow three very different families vying to buy the same 1920s Spanish-style villa, but unbeknownst to them the villa is actually haunted.
Liz Feldman, who is also the creator of Netflix’s Dead to Me, will serve as showrunner, write and produce. Also producing is Will Ferrell, who may at a later point even be cast in the project. Silver Tree will direct the pilot as well as other episodes. Tree’s credits include Dead to Me, You, Shameless, Suits, and more.

Liz Feldman said in a statement about working on the series for Netflix:
“No Good Deed was inspired by my many late nights during the early pandemic maniacally searching Zillow listings for a way out of my house. I’m endlessly grateful to Netflix for being such a supportive creative home and for continuing to allow me to turn my crippling anxiety into entertainment.”
Tracey Pakosta, Head of Comedy at Netflix, added:
“No good Liz Feldman project can go unproduced. She has an unmatched eye for dark comedy. And as we enter the final season of the brilliant Dead to Me, we are thrilled to continue our partnership with No Good Deed.”
No Good Deed is also produced by Jessica Elbaum and Brittney Segal for Gloria Sanchez Productions, as well as Christie Smith and Silver Tree. Here’s what else we know about Netflix’s No Good Deed:
