How Nahnatchka Khan’s Fierce Baby Is Killing Its New Murder Kick as It Debuts ‘Laid,’ Sets Dark New Tony Hale Project and Supernatural Lesbian Comedy (EXCLUSIVE)
"Laid" producer Nahnatchka Khan is best known for sitcoms -- but lately she's been on a big murder kick.
Writer and director Nahnatchka Khan, who is best known for sitcoms “Fresh Off the Boat,” “Don’t Trust the B—- In Apartment 23,” and NBC’s “Young Rock” with Dwayne Johnson, is celebrating the launch of her latest laugh, the Stephanie Hsu-led murder comedy “ Laid ” on Peacock, Thursday with the reveal of her next projects: two more dark comedies, one starring Tony Hale and the other based on the LGBTQ graphic novel “Fuck This Place.” Titled “Boy Next Door,” the in-the-works TV series is inspired by John Hinckley Jr’s release from prison into his misguided and controlling mother’s house, this dark comedy follows a man who made a huge mistake a long time ago and now just wants to live a normal, unremarkable second half of his life: get a regular job, meet a regular girl, learn how to take a selfie. “Boy Next Door” and “Fuck This Place” are the latest in a string of twisted comedies Khan’s Fierce Baby has been working on in recent years, beginning with Khan directing time-travel slasher-comedy “Totally Killer” with Blumhouse for Amazon; followed by Peacock’s new launch “Laid,” which centers on a woman (played by Hsu) who is trying to figure out why all of her ex-lovers are dying; Netflix rom-com “Dial A for Aunties,” which centers on a young wedding photographer who tries to hide the body of her blind date while working the wedding day of a wealthy client; and “Killer Potential,” a TV series adaptation of an upcoming book that follows two unlikely fugitives — an overeducated and broke SAT tutor who finds her rich employers brutally murdered in their backyard and the mute woman she discovers trapped in the walls of their mansion.
