Justin Hartley (This Is Us) will executive produce No Good Deeds for ABC alongside Jeannine Renshaw (Manifest) and director Nzingha Stewart (Maid), according to The Hollywood Reporter. Hartley is also slated to star in and executive produce The Never Game, which is based on a novel by Jeffrey Deaver (The Bone Collector).
The series will feature a “warm-hearted botany professor with a dark secret who welcomes a troubled student into her home. The seeming victim turns out to be a deadly parasite who uses her wiles and charms on vulnerable friends and family, unearthing secrets in this small mountain time and destroying lives in order to cement her own twisted bond with her professor,” via The Hollywood Reporter. The series joins the list of ABC developments, such as an L.A. Law sequel, a Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) drama, and comedies from Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), Courtney Lilly (Black-ish), Ajay Saghal (Carmichael Show), and others.
Renshaw’s credits also include ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, and NBC’s Good Girls. She will work on No Good Deed with Hartley and Stewart, although an official cast and release date have not yet been announced.
