Netflix’s upcoming dark comedy “No Good Deed” has added Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, Teyonah Parris, Abbi Jacobson and Poppy Liu to its cast. The series comes from “Dead to Me” creator Liz Feldman, making this a reunion of sorts with Cardellini.
They join Ray Romano, who was previously confirmed to also star in “No Good Deed.”
“No Good Deed” revolves around three different families who are all trying to buy the same 1920s Spanish-style home. “But as the sellers have already discovered, sometimes the home of your dreams can be a totle nightmare,” the logline teases.
Feldman is the creator, exec producer and showrunner behind “No Good Deed,” which has been picked up for eight half-hour episodes. Silver Tree is set to direct the pilot and additional episodes; Tree is also an executive producer along with Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum for Gloria Sanchez Productions.

It’s lights out on The Afterparty. Apple TV+ has canceled the murder-mystery comedy after two seasons. Apple nixed the series in part because of a post-strike reevaluation of its streaming series, according to Deadline sources. The Afterparty debuted in January 2022, created by Chris Miller and executive-produced by Phil Lord as part of the pair’s five-year overall deal with Apple TV+. Season 1 told the story of a murder at a high school reunion through the perspectives of different guests, with each episode boasting its own visual style based on popular film genres. That first season starred Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, and Dave Franco. Season 2 premiered this July, with Haddish, Richardson, and Chao reprising their roles in a tale about a murder at a wedding.

The party's over.
Apple TV+ has canceled The Afterparty after two seasons, Deadline reports.
The decision comes weeks after the conclusion of The Afterparty Season 2.
Thankfully, each season of the series is designed to be self-contained, meaning fans were not left hanging over a cliff about what would have happened next.
Resolution is necessary for a show of The Afterparty's caliber, which begins its seasons with a murder before having Tiffany Haddish's Detective Danner investigating the pool of suspects.
The investigation is infused with humor, red herrings, and everything you'd expect from a series that doesn't want to tell you the killer's identity until the season finale.
It's unclear how well the show performed on Apple TV+ because the streaming service keeps those viewership statistics under lock and key.
The first season had a considerable amount of buzz, but The Afterparty Season 2 seemed to appear out of nowhere...

Party’s over. Apple TV+ has pulled the plug on its murder mystery comedy series “The Afterparty” after two seasons, Variety has confirmed.
The anthology series starred Tiffany Haddish as an ex-cop private eye looking to solve murder cases. Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao also starred as a couple who return to accompany Haddish’s character after getting crossed off the suspect list in Season 1.
Both seasons featured a contained mystery, with single-season main cast members including Ike Barinholtz, Ben Schwartz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, Dave Franco, John Cho, Paul Walter Hauser, Ken Jeong, Anna Konkle, Poppy Liu, Elizabeth Perkins, Jack Whitehall, Zach Woods and Vivian Wu.
The series was created by Chris Miller, who executive produced the series alongside Phil Lord under their banner Lord Miller. Aubrey Lee served as producer. Anthony King also served as executive producer.

Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty” has been canceled after a second season, an individual with knowledge of the move told TheWrap on Friday.
The 10-episode installment that dropped its first two episodes in July and followed with a weekly release on Wednesdays put a new spin on the popular murder mystery genre. As each character recounted what they were doing and what they saw on the night in question, their testimony was told through a different film genre.
Sony Pictures Television plans to shop “The Afterparty” to other platforms in light of the cancellation, an individual with knowledge said.
In the second season, a wedding is ruined when the groom (Zach Woods) is found dead in bed.

Apple is breaking up The Afterparty.
The tech giant’s Apple TV+ streaming service has canceled The Afterparty after two seasons. The news comes a month and change after the genre-hopping comedic murder mystery finished its second season.

Created by Chris Miller, who executive produces along with his producing partner Phil Lord, The Afterparty took on a different genre in each episode, depending on which character’s point of view was front and center. Zoë Chao, Sam Richardson and Tiffany Haddish reprised their season one roles in the second installment, which was set at a wedding that’s ruined when the groom turns up dead.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “The Afterparty,” now streaming on Apple TV+.
Instead of deciding on who would make the perfect killer, the writers of Season 2 of “The Afterparty” began their journey by selecting a murder weapon.
“It started with thinking that it should be poison, and then thinking that the glass of the poison goes on a journey and doesn’t reach its intended target,” says series creator Chris Miller. “That would help us create a character who doesn’t have an obvious motive to kill the victim, but then we would need that character to have another secret or murder that’s intended. And what could that be?”

[This story contains spoilers from the season two finale of The Afterparty, “Vivian and Zoë.”]
In the season two finale of The Afterparty, viewers learn two things about the killer and one about the deceased, Edgar, the groom. Let’s start with the latter.
Edgar (Zach Woods) went around the world to find the globetrotting uncle, Ulysses (John Cho), of his bride-to-be Grace (Poppy Liu). But Ulysses wants no part of the wedding. Why? Because at the wedding will be his forbidden love that he’s traveled around the world to forget about, Vivian (Vivian Wu), the wife of his half-brother Feng (Ken Jeong). Edgar, however, forces Ulysses’ hand and makes him attend.
Edgar learned the hard way, however, that it’s best to leave people alone and that no means no — as audience members of the Apple TV+ series found out in the end that Ulysses is Edgar’s murderer (although, not intentionally). What Ulysses didn’t count on when attending the wedding was that,...

If you paid attention to Season 1 of “The Afterparty,” the answer was obvious.
The high school reunion murder of Xavier (Dave Franco) at the hands of a classmate introduced viewers to Christopher Miller’s multigenre Apple TV+ series, in which each suspect recounts the night’s events as they experienced it. The murderer turned out to be the one with the most outlandish, exaggerated, and discrepant story of the bunch: Yasper (Ben Schwartz), who viewed the night as a wish-fulfilling musical.
Yasper was motivated by jealousy and revenge, the same emotions shared by Xavier’s other classmates but in comparatively low doses and without the means and opportunity. In Season 2 there’s a helluva lot of truly murderous motive; the unfaithful wife, the financially doomed father-in-law, the jealous sister, the gaslit mother, the disgraced business partner. After nine episodes, there was no obvious liar...

“The Afterparty” has placed all sorts of lenses on its murder mystery wedding romp in Season 2: the generic conventions of rom-com and film noir, specific directorial styles like Alfred Hitchcock’s and Wes Anderson’s, and even whole modes of filmmaking as in Feng’s (Ken Jeong) found-footage episode peppered with vertical iPhone videos ready for TikTok.
The sheer number of different visual styles the show needs is a challenge, but so is creating a “normal” look for the present-day interrogation scenes with Danner (Tiffany Haddish), Aniq (Sam Richardson), and Zoë (Zoe Chao). Working out the feeling of that grounding “home base” look was as challenging as crafting the show’s most extreme visual styles, and in both cases required cinematographer Ross Riege to do a lot of calibrating in order to get it right — and then keep it straight.

Season 2 of “The Afterparty” may not be eligible at the Emmys until next year, but it could very well help one of its cast members prevail for a completely different show at the 2023 awards (that will be held in 2024).
Paul Walter Hauser has been the odds-on favorite to take home the Best Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actor prize for Apple TV+’s “Black Bird” basically all season long. And for good reason. He has triumphed at almost every occasion leading up to the Emmys, having raked in wins at the Critics Choice and Golden Globe Awards. His only loss so far has been at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, where he fell to “1883” star Sam Elliott, but he was always going to have a tough time claiming the victory there as the lone supporting player in the single limited series/TV movie actor lineup who was also up...

“I’m doing a new exercise today, so don’t take no offense,” Tiffany Haddish announces at the start of our interview (conducted over Zoom before the SAG-AFTRA strike). “But I want to see how I communicate with my eyeballs looking at the back of my eyelids.”
And true to her word, for most of the interview, she kept her eyes closed. It was a first for me. But for some reason it worked. Maybe it was because Haddish is so effortlessly charming and talented or because it is something that her character Danner on Apple TV’s brilliant “The Afterparty,” would do.

And true to her word, for most of the interview, she kept her eyes closed. It was a first for me. But for some reason it worked. Maybe it was because Haddish is so effortlessly charming and talented or because it is something that her character Danner on Apple TV’s brilliant “The Afterparty,” would do. Especially if she had a case to solve.
This week’s episode of “The Afterparty” is entirely devoted to Haddish’s Danner. As is the case with the rest of the show, each episode takes on the look and feel of a different film genre. And – perhaps...

Few revivals are necessary. “Justified: City Primeval,” the new eight-episode limited series that welcomes back U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Best Drama Actor nominee Timothy Olyphant), is probably not one of them. After all, original recipe “Justified” ended on the highest of high notes. In fact, one might even dare to say it featured one of the best series finales of all time. And yet, there is no denying how great Olyphant is in the role or how much we’ve missed TV’s coolest lawman. So why bother?
The new episodes (two of which are now streaming on Hulu after debuting on FX) are based on yet another Elmore Leonard property, the crime novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit.” The show finds Raylan transported from Miami, where he moved following the events of the original series, to Detroit, where he encounters a new kind of villain, the wild...

Imagine you throw a party for your bestie, and one of your other besties — let’s say Tiffany Haddish — says she wants to bring her new boyfriend. But you’re like “No! I said no plus-ones.” And then you find out Haddish’s boyfriend is actually Drake. What would you do?
The Afterparty‘s Zach Woods has his answer crystal clear. “There’s a lot to unpack here but I think it’s absolutely horrendous that the fact it was Drake changed your calculus at all,” Woods jokes. “If it...

How great was “The Afterparty?” Chris Miller’s Apple comedy in which murder suspects retell one fateful night in multiple genres became a breakout hit in 2022, renewed for an unexpected yet welcome second season. The new installment premieres Wednesday with two episodes that introduce a new cast, murder, and genres — not quite as exceptional as Season 1, but still enjoyable.
Returning to the scene of the crime are Sam Richardson as Aniq, Tiffany Haddish as now-former detective Danner, and Zoë Chao as Zoe, a year into dating Aniq and taking him to her younger sister Grace’s (Poppy Liu) wedding. When groom Edgar (Zach Woods) is found dead the morning after the ceremony (and shockingly muted after party), Aniq and Danner team up to speak with the eclectic inner circle of guests and find Edgar’s killer.
It’s daunting if not impossible to live up to something as fresh and...

Is there no end to the talents of Lord and Miller? After the soaring success of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, they’re on smaller screens this week, returning to the world of the whodunnit with the second season of the genre hopping The Afterparty.
After cracking a high school reunion murder in season one, fast-talking Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) is back to solve another mystery, this time a strange death at a wedding. It’s down to her, with some help from Aniq (Sam Richardson) who she met on the first case, to weed out the killer from all the guests. Could it be Jack Whitehall’s smooth talking best man? The groom’s haughty mother, Isabel, played by Elizabeth Perkins? Or does the bride’s father (Ken Jeung) know more than he’s letting on?
All will be revealed – eventually – in the new series which starts on Apple TV+ this week.
