Ahead of the finale of Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie‘s “The Curse,” Paramount+ is offering a month-long free trial to its Showtime plan so you can binge the whole season with the code CURSE.
The bizarre home-flipping comedy series premiered Paramount+ with Showtime in November, and will air its final episode on Jan. 14.
The A24 and Showtime series is a satirical take on house-flipping and home improvement shows found on cable TV. Fielder and Emma Stone play a newly married couple, Asher and Whitney — likely inspired by Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s “Fixer-Upper” — who are the hosts of a house-flipping TV show. However, their lives and careers are turned upside down after they become cursed by a child during a staged photo op.

The first episode kicks off with the couple’s latest plan, which is to flip houses and convert them into eco-friendly homes for the struggling residents of Española, New Mexico, all for their new reality show being overseen by an ingratiating producer (Safdie) with demons of his own.

“It’s as brilliant, wild, perverse, embarrassing, uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing as you would expect,” NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim said at the series premiere last month, where it made history as the first TV show ever to be premiere at New York Film Festival.
“This is one of the most exciting things I’ve seen this year,” Lim continued. “Everything about ‘The Curse‘ screams cinema to me.”
The cast includes include Barkhad Abdi, Corbin Bernsen and Constance Shulman. “The Curse” is a co-production of Showtime and A24, with Safdie and Fielder as co-creators and executive producers. Fielder also serves as a director.
