Original programming is slowly coming back to Showtime. Genre-bending bizarro home improvement comedy series The Curse has been given premiere dates of November 10 on Paramount+ with Showtime, and November 12 on the linear Showtime channel, as announced Tuesday. The series will premiere internationally on Paramount+ on November 10 in Canada and on November 11 in Australia, Latin America, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Called a "perplexing renovation story", The Curse stars Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder as Whitney and Asher a husband and wife duo who have just landed their own house-flipping series called Flipanthropy. Ben Safdie's Dougie is staffed as their producer, but has secrets of his own. The show comes as the Española, New Mexico-living couple are trying to start their family, seemingly met by a supposed curse that promises to "disturb the relationship".

Stone was most recently seen in Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, and which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, from which Showtime acquired The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, premiering October 6. Fielder is coming off his HBO docu-comedy series The Rehearsal, and Safdie starred in this summer's blast Oppenheimer. Barkhad Abdi, Corbin Bernsen and Doug and Orange is the New Black's Constance Shulman are set to co-star.
The Curse's first three episodes will have their world debut at the New York Film Festival on October 12. The series is is a co-production of Showtime and A24. Fielder and Safdie co-created and executive produce the series through their Elara production company. The latter is also one of the series's directors while Stone also executive produces but with her husband Dave McCary and Ali Herting through their company Fruit Tree, which has a first-look television deal with A24. Construction is complete, and anticipation builds with more first-look photos you can check out below.
