Netflix‘s new series No Good Deed is a mix of real estate satire, murder mystery, and dark comedy. It’s also an undeniably “LA” show. After all, No Good Deed is emphatically about the lengths well-to-do Los Angelenos will go to get that perfect house to go along with the “perfect” life.

**Spoilers for No Good Deed, now streaming on Netflix**

Nowhere is this stressed more than in the storyline that follows struggling actor JD Campbell (Luke Wilson) and his avaricious wife Margo (Linda Cardellini). JD is so obsessed with Margo that he hides his dire financial straights from her, allowing her to blithely shop him deeper into debt.

While Margo hides her passionate affair with real estate developer Gwen (Kate Moenning), JD obfuscates just how bad his career is going. He lies to Margo about auditioning for a Marvel film, prompting the ever-ambitious Margo to suggest he get a part on “one of those Yellowstone shows.”

It turns out that Margo’s wish for JD to join Taylor Sheridan’s massively popular show is more than just a playful nod to Yellowstone‘s cultural dominance. We later learn that JD and Margo’s sex life includes cowboy role playing and the final episode reveals that JD eventually does land a Western series.

When Decider asked No Good Deed star Luke Wilson about his character’s connection to Yellowstone, he admitted that the fictional show Teton Territory we see JD filming “definitely” is a “Yellowstone-type show.”

“I’m sure it’s the kind of thing Margo said, like, you know, ‘You should really try and get tied up with this Taylor Sheridan guy,'” Wilson said. “So I can see her kind of pushing him in that direction.”

Wilson’s costar, Linda Cardellini went one step further imagining Margo’s scheming. “You’re trying to make like reservations at the same time as his some restaurant in Los Angeles,” she said.”

“Yeah, but no, I think a lot of people are happy to work in that Yellowstone universe,” Wilson said.

While Wilson himself has yet to work on one of Taylor Sheridan’s many projects, he ironically has recently worked with Kevin Costner on the actor/director’s ambitious multi-part epic Horizon: An American Saga. So that’s almost like life imitating art, with Luke Wilson playing an actor who longs to be in a Western while he’s already an actor in, uh, a Western.
