Abbi Jacobson is smitten with Lisa Kudrow — even after working together.
The There is no good deed actress, 40, stars as Leslie Fisher in Netflix’s dark new drama alongside Kudrow, 61, as Lydia Morgan.
“I mean, to do a scene with Lisa, just with us later in the season, was almost a dream come true,” Jacobson told PEOPLE during an interview in November.
In the series, buyers tour a coveted 1920s Spanish-style mansion that is billed as a dream home, “located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Los Angeles.” Eventually, multiple families try to get a chance to buy the house from Lydia Kudrow and her character’s husband, Paul (Ray Romano).
Jacobson plays one of the potential buyers who is a bit curious—and borderline obsessive—when it comes to getting to the bottom of the house’s mysteries.

“It goes from a pretty comedic moment to a very intense moment for her character,” Jacobson says of her scene with Friends alum. “And to watch someone I admire so much as a performer do it in front of me and be a part of it, that was really special.”
Jacobson’s character is accompanied in her fledgling investigation of the Morgans’ story by her recently pregnant wife Sarah, played by Poppy Liu.
“It was pretty amazing,” Jacobson tells PEOPLE of playing the couple with Liu, 32. “And I mean, Poppy, I’m mostly in the scenes with Poppy, which was so much fun. It felt very organic, that dynamic between us.”

“But they’re all amazing,” Jacobson told her castmates. “The reading chart just started to come together and reading everything out loud was nice. . . I will remember those moments.”
A play he wrote Dead to me producer Liz Feldman was inspired by Feldman’s personal journey to find a home after the pandemic, she said Entertainment Weekly.

“We saw more than 50 houses, and every time we walked into a new house, there was a deep and really intriguing story behind each family,” Feldman said. – I realized that every house has its secrets.
