Warning: Major spoilers ahead for season one of “No Good Deed.”
Your next binge watch has arrived, and it’s “Dead to Me” creator Liz Feldman’s new dark comedy “No Good Deed.”
The eight-episode Netflix show stars “Friends” alum Lisa Kudrow and “Everybody Loves Raymond” star Ray Romano as Lydia and Paul Morgan, grieving parents who are looking to sell their seemingly perfect Los Angeles home three years after the death of their son, Jacob (Wyatt Aubrey).
An open house catches the attention of three couples in the neighborhood, all of whom are looking to make an offer. But as the episodes progress, the plot thickens and a murder mystery unfolds. The dramatic finale will leave viewers wanting even more (be warned: spoilers ahead).
Here’s what we know so far about if “No Good Deed” will return for a second season.
The finale reveals who really killed Jacob, meanwhile, Lydia and Paul finally sell their house
Netflix
The finale reveals that Margo (Linda Cardellini), whose real name is Luann, was in an inappropriate relationship with Jacob. The night of his murder, Margo caught Jacob, wearing a ski mask, breaking into her and her husband JD’s (Luke Wilson) house and stealing the gifts he gave her.
She threatened to tell the whole neighborhood about his thievery, and he countered by threatening to tell JD about their secret relationship. Margot then chased Jacob back to his house, saying that she wasn’t going to lose everything because of him. As Jacob tried to open his house door, Margo shot him. So it was Margo, not Jacob’s sister Emily (Chloe East), who shot and killed him.
JD, who has already reached his limit with Margo’s manipulation, gets his revenge on her by setting their house on fire as she’s enjoying a bubble bath.
The finale then jumps six months later, showing where everyone ended up.
Lydia and Paul sold their house to Leslie (Abbi Jacobson) and Sarah (Poppy Liu), who are expecting their first child together.
Margo survived the house fire but has burn marks on one side of her face. She’s last seen being arrested by Paul and Lydia’s nephew, Nate (Kevin Alves), a police officer. Meanwhile, JD is thriving, having landed a role in a Western called “Teton Territory.”
The Morgans also find closure three years after their son’s death. Lydia starts playing the piano again and performs alongside Emily, who plays a song developed by Jacob, as Paul watches on.
Netflix hasn’t announced a season two of ‘No Good Deed’ yet

The season one finale neatly ties up most of the storylines, but there’s one glaring loose end that could lend itself to a potential second season if Netflix chooses to renew “No Good Deed.”
In the time jump, it’s revealed that new parents Dennis (O-T Fagbenle) and Carla (Teyonah Parris) bought the property previously owned by JD and Margo. Carla is under the impression that they were able to buy the property using the advance from Dennis’ third book. But in reality, Dennis quietly cashed Carla’s estranged dad Randall’s $5 million check.
So far, Feldman has been quiet about what a potential second season could look like.
“I want viewers to be thinking about where the Morgans are,” she told Tudum. “I leave my favorite shows wondering about [the characters] — asking myself questions, [mentally] writing the rest of the story myself. And I want to encourage people to do that.”
While awaiting news about “No Good Deed,” the streamer has plenty of other options to tune into, like the new Keira Knightley thriller series “Black Doves” or the bizarre docuseries “The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga.”
“No Good Deed” is now streaming on Netflix.
