Netflix viewers everywhere are already getting impatient after the streaming giant’s ‘new Desperate Housewives’ got its official release date.
No Good Deed, which stars Ray Romano, Luke Wilson, and Linda Cardinelli, follows three couples attempted to buy the home of their dreams – the one problem is that they all want the exact same house.
On top of that, the house they’re all after contains dozens of dark secrets which will be unearthed across the eight-part series, created by Dead to Me writer Liz Feldman.
But despite having a stellar cast of big names, there’s one name in particular that’s got fans eager to jump into this series: Friends legend Lisa Kudrow.
In the trailer, the actress, 61, who played Phoebe Buffay for 10 years in the American sitcom, can be seen sat with Ray Romano as the pair spy on house viewers through their iPhone.
All episodes will be available to watch on December 12, with the cast also including O-T Fagbenle, Dennis Leary, and Better Call Saul actress Poppy Liu.
Fans are already excited, with the two-month wait already proving to be too long for some people, including @RebeccaLBenson on X, who said: ‘Goddammit, I have to reactivate my Netflix subscription.’
Meanwhile, @JessPennartz posted, ‘Lisa Kudrow? Say no more,’ while @WRDownes described the upcoming series as looking ‘promisingly bonkers’.
@LittleWondering told their followers to ‘Forget the countdown to Christmas, I will be counting down to this,’ with the series being described by some as Netflix’s answer to Desperate Housewives.
The teaser trailer shows several families entering the house and looking around while Kudrow and Romaro’s characters watch them in secret on CCTV recordings.
A montage then plays, indicating that there will be some at some backstabbing and betrayal, spying, mischief and mystery across the planned eight episodes.
Kudrow will play Lydia Morgan, who is married to Romano’s character Paul – they’re the couple attempting to sell the house featured in the trailer.
Fans of Modern Family have also noticed that the exterior of the house in question is the exact same building used for Cam and Mitchell’s home in the beloved comedy series.
@BrianNPikachu noticed it straight away, saying: ‘Is this not Mitch and Cam’s house?’
The new trailer comes just weeks after Kudrow revealed she was fired off the set of another famous 1990s sitcom while working on Friends.
In 1993, a year before being cast as Phoebe Buffay, Lisa secured the role of Roz Doyle in Frasier, which was a spin-off of the series Cheers, and focused on Kelsey Grammer’s titular character.
In the series Roz is the producer of the titular character’s radio show, and Kudrow auditioned for the part before she landed the iconic Friends role she became known for.
‘I didn’t film it. I got fired from Frasier,’ she said on the latest episode of the SmartLess podcast. Describing what happened as ‘devastating’ she recalled how she was told things ‘weren’t working’.
