The Uncut Gems duo's pilot for The Curse, announced earlier this year, has been picked up to series with the Oscar-winning Stone on board. The Curse is described as a "genre-bending scripted comedy that explores how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring on their problematic new HGTV show," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Stone will star opposite co-creators Nathan Fielder .... and Benny Safdie. Stone and Fielder will play the couple; Benny Safdie will portray the producer of the HGTV show." Fielder will direct the series along with serving as a star and executive producer. The Curse marks Stone's return to TV after starring in the 2018 Netflix limited series Maniac.
