No Good Deed
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

Creator / Showrunner / Executive Producer: Liz Feldman
Executive Producers: Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum for Gloria Sanchez Productions; Christie Smith; Silver Tree (who will direct the pilot and additional episodes)
