Netflix Greenlights Dark Comedy ‘All the Rage’ From the ‘Dead to Me’ Duo

Netflix has just given the thumbs‑up to a brand‑new dark comedy called All the Rage. The show is being cooked up by Liz Feldman and Kelly Hutchinson, the same duo that gave us the twisted grief‑support‑group romp Dead to Me and the eclectic No Good Deed.

Feldman, whose overall deal with Netflix just got a fresh extension, will serve as co‑creator and executive producer alongside Hutchinson. The two have a thirty‑year friendship that apparently fuels their off‑beat sense of humor, and they’re ready to pour a little of that chemistry into the new series.

What’s the premise? According to the logline, the story follows Emma and Eli—old friends who haven’t spoken in years—reuniting to take down the man who ripped their lives apart. It’s a revenge tale, but with the kind of darkly comic edge that made Dead to Me so addictive.

Helping steer the ship are veteran comedy producers Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum, who are on board through Gloria Sanchez Productions. Christie Smith of Rise Management also signs on as an executive producer. All three were already attached to Feldman and Hutchinson’s previous Netflix projects, so this feels like a natural next step.

“We’re thrilled to tell this completely made‑up story about revenge inspired by our very real friendship of 30 years,” Feldman and Hutchinson said in a joint statement. “Thanks to Netflix for being the best partners in the biz and, more importantly, for paying us to finally work through 30 years of neurosis and resentment.” The tongue‑in‑cheek humor in that quote is pretty on‑brand for the pair.

For context, Dead to Me ran three seasons on Netflix, earning six Emmy nominations—including nods for Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini—and cementing Feldman’s reputation as a sharp comedy writer. The follow‑up, No Good Deed, arrived in 2024 with an ensemble cast that featured Lisa Kudrow, Ray Romano, Luke Wilson, and a host of other familiar faces.

Netflix’s comedy VP Tracey Pakosta expressed excitement about the partnership, noting that Feldman and Hutchinson’s “unique and sharp creative chemistry” would bring “dark comedy and emotional depth like only Liz and Kelly can.” The streaming giant seems keen to keep the momentum going.

Both creators are well‑represented—Feldman by CAA, Rise Management, and Yorn Levine Barnes; Hutchinson by UTA, SEL Media Group, and Goodman Genow. Ferrell and Elbaum are handled by UTA, with Ferrell also attached to Mosaic and Jackoway Austen Tyerman. All in all, a solid team is lining up to bring this revenge‑driven, laugh‑and‑cry‑type series to screens worldwide.
