“Twisted Romantic Comedy Series Laid: Guest Cast and Trailer Released on Peacock”
Peacock has released a trailer for the upcoming series Laid, which is set to debut next month. The series will feature a star-studded cast, with Simu Liu, Kate Berlant, and Alexandra Shipp joining the previously announced Stephanie Hsu, Zosia Mamet, Michael Angarano, and Tommy Martinez. Additional cast members include Andre Hyland, David Denman, John Early, Ettore “Big E” Ewen, Chloe Fineman, Olivia Holt, and Finneas O’Connell.
The plot of Laid revolves around a young woman played by Stephanie Hsu who discovers that her past lovers are mysteriously dying one by one. With the help of her best friend, played by Zosia Mamet, she sets out to unravel the mystery and warn her former partners. The show promises a unique blend of romance and suspense, drawing inspiration from the Australian series of the same name that aired in 2011 and 2012.
The show’s creators, Nahnnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, describe Laid as a “f*cked-up rom-com” that balances traditional romantic elements with a dark, suspenseful twist. This combination of genres aims to capture the essence of love in a time of uncertainty and upheaval.
The eight-episode series is set to premiere on Peacock, and it promises to deliver a fresh take on the romantic comedy genre. Are you excited to watch Laid when it premieres on Peacock next month? Let us know if this sounds like a show you’d enjoy!
