Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone has returned to TV to lead Paramount Plus' latest original series, The Curse. The darkly comic ten-parter from the minds of Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie (both of who also star) has been hugely anticipated since critics got a sneak peek at the New York Film Festival last month and will land weekly on Paramount Plus.
Stone's Whitney Siegel and her husband Asher (Fielder) head to smalltown New Mexico where they propose to make a docuseries about bringing eco-conscious housing to the community. But things don't get off to the best of starts when Asher gets on the wrong side of a local child who purportedly casts a – you guessed it – curse on him.
It doesn't take long before strange things begin happening and the well-intentioned newlyweds soon feel very much out of their depth in parts unknown. It doesn't help that Dougie (Safdie), the TV producer making the show, seems to have his own motives for taking on the project that aren't necessarily too savory.
Prepare for "a mysterious web of ethical and moral gray zones" as Paramount puts it, with themes of gentrification, white savior complex and the cult of reality TV intertwined with the supernatural. And if the involvement of Stone, Fielder and Safdie wasn't reason enough to tune in already, then it's worth noting that distributors A24 have a hand in this one – they of Euphoria, Ramy, Irma Vep and Beef on the small screen, and Everything Everywhere All at Once, Past Lives and Talk to Me at cinemas.
Judging from the gushing reviews and the hype surrounding the show, it could well be your next box-set obsession. So follow our guide for full details on how to watch The Curse online from anywhere.
