Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone channel their inner Anyone But You in a parody for their satirical series The Curse. The showtime series comes from Fielder and Benny Safdie, and features the newlywed couple of Fielder and Stone’s characters. They’re looking to put their eco-conscious beliefs to good use by helping a community in Española, New Mexico. For those not familiar with Anyone But You, it’s a romantic comedy starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, and its first trailer got fans talking about the chemistry between the starring duo. Can Fielder and Stone recreate that magic? Look on and see for yourself.

The first promo for The Curse starts off with Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone standing side-by-side, similar to Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney’s opening to the Anyone But You trailer. Emma introduces viewers to her “new show,” which Fielder tries to take ownership of. Next, The Curse trailer runs and actually gives a preview of the A24 production. It’s shot as a home improvement-style reality series that goes incredibly wrong. Finally, Fielder posts a follow-up post on X/Twitter, where he states their parody was made before Anyone But You‘s trailer was released.
“I’ve just been informed that the introductory clip leading into our trailer for The Curse which I posted to social media earlier today has similarities to the trailer introduction for the romcom movie Anyone But You,” Fielder’s message states. “I want to be very clear – we shot this promo over six months ago, and I am seriously concerned that the marketing team at Sony Pictures somehow saw our promo and copied it.”
What is The Curse about?
