The 'No Good Deed' Cast: What to Know About the Stars and Characters in the Netflix Series

The L.A. real estate market is no joke—just ask the characters on Netflix’s latest comedy series No Good Deed. Created by Dead to Me showrunner Liz Feldman, the eight-episode show follows three families vying for a new house listing in the Los Feliz neighborhood. A coveted Spanish-style home is suddenly on the market after being passed down in the Morgan family for years, and the Morgans are desperate to keep the reason why they’re walking away from it a secret.

The prospective buyers—a wealthy couple living across the street, a nosy duo who have always dreamed of living in this house, and newlyweds in disagreement on whether this home is right for them—all circle the listing, threatening to uncover the Morgans's secret with their desperation. Adding to the must-watch show’s appeal, the quirky cast of characters is an ensemble led by seasoned comedic and dramatic actors. Read on to see who’s who in the No Good Deed cast.
