THE CURSE: Showtime Orders Emma Stone-Led Comedy to Series

Showtime has ordered THE CURSE, starring Emma Stone, to series.

The half-hour comedy is “a genre-bending scripted comedy that explores how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring on their problematic new HGTV show.”

“The fierce intelligence and wit of the incomparable Emma Stone make her the perfect partner with the ingenious minds of the Safdie brothers and the subversive comedy of Nathan Fielder,” said Amy Israel, Executive Vice President, Scripted Programming, Showtime Networks Inc., in a statement. “Together, they promise to deliver a groundbreaking satire that is both unexpected and deeply human. SHOWTIME continues to shine as a beacon for visionary filmmakers who are looking to create their ambitious, singular shows.”

Stone will serve as an executive producer on the series. THE CURSE will be directed by and co-star Nathan Fielder, who will also EP the show along with  Josh and Benny Safdie. Fielder and Benny Safdie co-created the show.
