Netflix has added the additions of five recurring cast members joining No Good Deed, creator and executive producer Liz Feldman’s upcoming dark comedy series.

Linda Lavin (Being the Ricardos, Naked Singularity, Alice) plays “Phyllis” - Paul and Lydia’s overly involved neighbor who is always a little too aware of the goings-on in the community. 

Matt Rogers (Fire Island, I Love That for You) plays “Greg” –  The gregarious, charming and slightly smug realtor handling the sale of the Morgan home, Greg is acutely aware of the gem he has on his hands and knows how to keep prospective buyers interested in this highly sought-after home. 

Anna Maria Horsford (Pose, B Positive, Friday) plays “Denise” - Dennis' (O-T Fagbenle) namesake and loving but highly-critical mother is a little too involved in her son and daughter-in-law’s house-hunting journey. 

Kate Moennig (The L Word, Ray Donovan) plays “Gwen” - Beautiful, sharp and aloof, Gwen is a high-end developer and Margo's (Linda Cardellini) potential business partner. Both are intrigued by the Morgan home which could prove to be a very lucrative investment.

Wyatt Aubrey plays “Jacob” - Paul (Ray Romano) and Lydia’s (Lisa Kudrow) teenage son who has dealt with some difficulties navigating adolescence.

No Good Deed is a half hour, dark comedy that follows three very different families vying to buy the very same 1920s Spanish style villa that they think will solve all their problems. But as the sellers have already discovered, sometimes the home of your dreams can be a total nightmare.

Previously announced cast includes Lisa Kudrow, Ray Romano, Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, Teyonah Parris, O-T Fagbenle, Abbi Jacobson, Poppy Liu and Dennis Leary.
