“Laid” tells the story of a woman who discovers all of her past lovers are dying in unusual ways. Described to Deadline as “a f*cked-up rom-com where the answer to ‘Why can’t I find love, is there something wrong with me?’ is a resounding: ‘Yes, there is. The problem is definitely you,'” the series is based on a 2011 Australian show of the same name.

With Big E’s inclusion, “Laid” promises to deliver an intriguing mix of humor and dark comedy, adding another exciting project to his repertoire.
