Stephanie Hsu’s dating history has a body count in Peacock romcom series ‘Laid’ trailer [Watch]
What if “It Follows” was a romantic comedy?
That’s something like the premise for the upcoming series “Laid,” which premieres on Peacock this holiday season. The streaming service released a trailer for the sitcom on Wednesday.
“Laid” stars Academy Award nominee Stephanie Hsu (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) as Ruby, who realizes that her former lovers are all mysteriously dying in unusual ways. With the help of her friend AJ (Zosia Mamet), she goes back through her “sex timeline” of exes and past hookups to find out why it’s happening and stop it once and for all. No one has ever been so unlucky in love. “Laid” is described as “a f–-ed up rom-com where the answer to ‘why can’t I find love, is there something wrong with me?’ is a resounding ‘Yes. There is. The problem is definitely you.’”
The series is based on a 2011 Australian series of the same name, and hails from Nahnatchka Khan (“Fresh off the Boat”) and Sally Bradford McKenna (“Will & Grace”), who previously worked together on the cult favorite comedy “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23.” In addition to Hsu and Mamet, the series regulars are Michael Angarano and Tommy Martinez. Guest stars include Andre Hyland, Olivia Holt, David Denman, Finneas O’Connell, Chloe Fineman, Ettore “Big E” Ewen, and John Early.
All eight episodes of “Laid” start streaming Thursday, Dec. 19 on Peacock.
