In the bustling world of streaming, few shows manage to carve out a niche with sharp wit and biting satire. One such offering is a Lisa Kudrow-starring series with an 80 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating, drawing attention for its clever take on Los Angeles' glitzy yet grim underbelly, blending humor with uncomfortable truths. Critics and viewers alike have praised this title for various reasons; however, despite the acclaim, rumors of its cancellation have surfaced, leaving many anxious. But is it truly done at Netflix?

Lisa Kudrow’s latest LA satire delivered loud laughs, but the whispers surrounding its future are just as noisy. Could the show in discussion be closer to ending than imagined?

Lisa Kudrow’s dark comedy in discussion is No Good Deed, which premiered in December 2024, co-starring Ray Romano. The show, created by Liz Feldman, follows three families competing to purchase a Los Angeles villa, revealing a web of secrets and betrayals. Despite the critical acclaim that mirrors its Rotten Tomatoes rating, the series, notably, has not been officially greenlit for a sophomore season. Although not officially canceled at Netflix either, the title has been put on indefinite hold, according to Deadline, which confirmed the unfavorable news in July.

The news of No Good Deed being shelved came alongside the cancellation of two other Netflix series: Pulse and The Residence. The former, a medical drama starring Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell, premiered this April with wobbly ratings. The latter, a Shondaland-produced murder mystery set in the White House, meanwhile, also debuted this year. Both shows were cancelled after their first seasons, falling short of Netflix's expectations. What does the streaming giant's placing No Good Deed on hold while cancelling the others mean, though? Rumors have it that it could reemerge with a surprising facelift.

An unconfirmed season 2 could stir the villa’s drama anew, with shifting alliances and unexpected players stepping into the tangled web of deceit.

While Netflix has yet to revive No Good Deed for a second season, Deadline, citing its sources, reports that the series could eventually become an anthology, potentially reinvented with a fresh cast and storyline. Meanwhile, viewers of the original season may notice that while Lisa Kudrow, who not long ago revealed a shocking Friends fact, and Ray Romano’s character arcs are tied up satisfactorily, some loose ends remain, leaving room for future outings.

With palpable buzz for a second season despite an indefinite hold, one thing is certain: the show has left a lasting and memorable impact on Netflix users. Whether it returns with new characters, fresh storylines, or unexpected twists, the essence of its dark comedy remains unchanged. There is, therefore, absolutely nothing wrong with fans hoping, wishing, and eagerly anticipating the best possible outcome for their favorite show.
