Stephanie Hsu is getting ready to lead Peacock’s new comedy series Laid, and she’ll be in pretty good company. This promising project managed to attract an impressive supporting cast, including Zosia Mamet, Michael Angarano, and Tommy Martinez.
Laid draws inspiration from the Australian series of the same name, created by Marieke Hardy and Kirsty Fisher. It’s described as an edgy 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 Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All At Once) will play a woman who must take a stroll down memory lane and get in touch with her former lovers. After they start dying in unusual ways, she realizes that comforting her past is the only way to move forward.
Zosia Mamet (Girls), Michael Angarano (This Is Us), and Tommy Martinez (Good Trouble) will join Hsu in supporting roles, as characters named AJ, Richie, and Isaac.
This comedy series was written by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, who are also executive producing it alongside Hsu, John Davis, and John Fox for Davis Entertainment, Jennifer Carreras for Fierce Baby, plus Marieke Hardy, Kirsty Fisher, and Liz Watts for Porchlight Films.
