Jaden Thompson Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder have their sledgehammers ready, but they might not only be breaking down walls in their new show Showtime and A24 comedy “The Curse.” The studios have released the first trailer for their genre-defying new series, set to premiere on Nov. 10 on Paramount+ and air Nov. 12 on Showtime.
Stone and Fielder play a married couple, Whitney and Asher, who flip houses on a new show called “Flipanthropy,” seemingly similar to real-life HGTV home renovation shows like “Fixer Upper.” Whitney and Asher’s “Flipanthropy” series is produced by a character named Dougie, played by Benny Safdie, who harbors some secrets. Despite the couple’s big break and their hopes to have a child, all is not well for the house-flipping duo. Whitney and Asher, based in Española, N.M., are soon faced with a mysterious curse that will “disturb the relationship.” In addition to “The Curse,” Stone has received attention lately for starring in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things,” which premiered at the Venice Film Festival to critical acclaim.
Fielder is known for his unique and experimental shows “Nathan For You” and “The Rehearsal”; these docu-reality series don’t quite fit into any genre, but both feature his distinct personality and sense of humor. Fielder also starred in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” as Edward Teller. The first three episodes of “The Curse” will premiere at the New York Film Festival, which runs from Sept.
29 to Oct. 15. In addition to Stone, Fielder and Safdie, the series also stars Barkhad Abdi, Corbin Bernsen and Constance Shulman.
“The Curse” is a co-production with A24. Fielder serves as director in addition to co-creator alongside Safdie. Brothers Benny and Josh Safdie serve as executive

Well there’s a first time for everything; and in the case of “The Curse,” it’s surprising that it’s the first TV series to be part of the premiere lineup for the New York Film Festival. But Variety reports that Nathan Fielder & Benny Safdie‘s show is the first to do so, and NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim couldn’t be happier about it.
Anna Tingley Up until Thursday night, New York Film Festival had never once featured a TV show on its annual premiere lineup, so when Benny Safdie approached NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim with a new series he created alongside Nathan Fielder, the likelihood that it would get a big-screen premiere was low. But Lim gave it a chance, and after he finished the fifth episode he knew he had to figure out how to make something work.
Yep, that’s cursed, alright. That idea, a hex, a curse, the concept, the phrase, is explored in delightfully weird ways in “The Curse,” easily one of our most anticipated series of the year that’s almost upon us.
