If you like horror, I recommend Evil on Paramount+. They've had Brian Stokes Mitchell, Danny Burstein, Annaleigh Ashford, Christian Borle, Santino Fontana, Norm Lewis, and Jenn Collela to name a few.

I have watched the other Robert and Michelle King shows including The Good Wife/Fight, BrainDead and The Bite. I don’t know why I missed this one. Guess I am just a scaredy cat. I’ll have to give it a try.

Younger on Hulu. It's stars Sutton Foster but is full of Broadway guest stars and has multiple seasons.
Schmigadoon on AppleTV
Central Park on AppleTV
Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure on Disney Plus has Eden Espinosa, James Monroe Iglehart, and Jeremy Jordan. It's a musical sequel series to the movie Tangled.

I've started watching Death and other Details on Disney+ recently.
It's in the theme of Knives Out and the recent Hercule Poirot movies and quite entertaining.
It has Lauren Patten (Jagged Little Pill) and Mandy Patinkin in it, among others!

'Elsbeth' had many - including Laura Benanti, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Linda Lavin and Andre DeShields. It's not groundbreaking but it's a cute cozy murder.

I had to resurrect this thread to recommend Furious on Hulu. Initially, I doubted if I needed another serial killer thriller, but this is so much more. The enticing character development and dialogue are quite dramatic. It definitely brought me back to Silence of the Lambs a bit. There is also a good dose of black humor that draws us closer to the characters. By the end, I was sorry the show was over but elated that Season 2 has been announced.
There will be some serious Emmy contention between Quincy Tyler Bernstine, Emmy Rossum, and Lola Petticrew, who lead this series. I thought they were all exceptional!
It was also really fun to see Bernstine's Nora go after her castmate from the play Well, I'll Let You Go, Danny McCarthy (he plays her nemesis in this). Another castmate from that same play, Constance Shulman, also has a juicy cameo!
One of my favorites, Hope Davis, along with Marcia DeBonis, Rob Yang, Peter McRobbie, Campbell Scott, and Eddie Cooper, also stars.
Anybody else love this as much as I did?
What are some of your recent favorite shows with theater actors?

His & Hers - a limited Netflix series with John Bernthal, Tessa Thompson and Marin Ireland. Very compelling and gripping thriller which I binged in one day.
Another vote for Furious on Hulu. I'm not a fan of writing tbh, but acting is fantastic and the pace is great. I'm on my 4th episode at the moment.

Crank up the DVR and start watching Michelle and Robert King’s new legal drama Cupertino. I loved the first episode. It’s well written, funny and has a ton of stage actors.
Will Brill, Steven Pasquale, Debra Monk, Stephen Kunken, David Aaron Baker, Max Casella and Joe Morton. There will be many more since season one will have 20 episodes!
