Showtime's The Curse Release Date, Cast, Plot, Trailer And More Details

When it comes to who's starring in Showtime's "The Curse," it's an eclectic mix of edgy comedic talent, major A-list stars, and respected character actors. Benny Safdie (who recently appeared in "Oppenheimer") will play the producer of "Flipanthropy," and Nathan Fielder of "Nathan for You" will play Asher Siegel — the husband and co-star of the show-within-a-show who's dealing with the titular curse. 

So who's portraying Whitney Siegel, the reality star married to Fielder's character? It's none other than the Oscar-winning Emma Stone ("La La Land," "Poor Things"), who received a ton of praise from Showtime executive Amy Israel. As she put it, "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."

As for the rest of the cast, Variety reported in July 2022 that Corbin Bernsen, Barkhad Abdi, and Constance Shulman would be joining "The Curse." If those names don't sound familiar, you've definitely seen (or heard) them before. Bernsen is best known for playing in NBC's "LA Law" and USA Network's "Psych," Abdi is renowned for his phenomenal turn in "Captain Phillips," and Shulman has played in series like "Orange Is the New Black" and has done voice work for the iconic Nickelodeon series "Doug."
