Nathan Fielder is making a spooky comedy pilot with the Safdie brothers for Showtime

Isn’t it nice when someone decides to make a TV exclusively for The A.V. Club? Because that’s apparently what Showtime is doing, with Deadline reporting that the premium cable network has given a pilot order to a project called The Curse starring Nathan Fielder and directed by Benny and Josh Safdie—a.k.a. the Safdie brothers, of Uncut Gems fame. The trio will also write the pilot, with Benny Safdie co-starring alongside Fielder. Deadline’s sources say the show will be about a newly married couple that hosts a “troubled HGTV show” called Flipanthropy. Also, the couple is apparently cursed, which seems reminiscent of one of the all-time-great segments on Fielder’s Nathan For You, in which he helped a woman boost her real-estate business by promoting her as someone who only sells ghost-free homes.
