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.

Cardellini, whose credits include “Dead to Me” and the upcoming feature “Murder Party,” plays Margo Starling, “A perfectly-coiffed status seeker with buried secrets to spare, Margo knows how to get what she wants – and what she wants is the in-demand Morgan house so she can flip it for profit with her lover, a high-end developer.”

Wilson, seen next in Kevin Costner’s Western film series “Horizon” and the film “You Gotta Believe,” plays JD Campbell —  “a depressed, out-of-work soap opera star desperate to land his next job, JD is looking to downsize from his modern McMansion while still maintaining both his lavish lifestyle and his marriage to a demanding wife.”

Parris (“The Marvels,” “Wandavision”) is Carla, “a high-achieving and somewhat sardonic architect and expectant mother, Carla and new husband Dennis are on the hunt for the perfect home for their expanding family. She falls hard for the Morgan house but the impending financial stress reveals some cracks in her new marriage.”

Jacobson, the “Broad City” star most recently in “A League of Their Own,” is Leslie Fisher. “Clever, curious and competitive to a fault, Leslie is thrilled to discover that the Los Feliz home she and her wife have admired from afar has finally come on the market.”

Liu, currently in “Hacks” and “The Afterparty,” plays Sarah. “Soulful, grounded and uncompromisingly decent, Sarah often serves as a much-needed moral compass to wife Leslie (Abbi Jacobson) — though she’s not without some secrets of her own. She’s intrigued when the Morgan house comes on the market but has some deep reservations.”

As previously noted, Romano’s character is Paul, a contractor desperate to retire, pay off his debts and get out of Los Angeles. Constantly stressed and flat broke, Paul’s solution to his money problems is to sell his beautiful Los Feliz home, but his past mistakes will continue to haunt him. Lisa Kudrow is also set to star in the series.
