Tatiana Maslany is about to take us on a chaotic, twist-filled ride.
The Emmy-winning actress stars as Paula in the upcoming Apple dark comedy thriller Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, premiering May 20. The first teaser trailer, titled “The Spiral,” has officially dropped—and it’s already giving messy, unraveling-in-real-time energy.
Created and showrun by David J. Rosen, the series follows Paula as she finds herself pulled into a web of blackmail, murder, and—unexpectedly—youth soccer. After becoming convinced she witnessed a crime, Paula launches her own investigation… all while navigating a custody battle and a full-blown identity crisis.
What starts as suspicion quickly spirals into something much bigger—hinting at a larger conspiracy that could either destroy what’s left of her life or help her rebuild it entirely.
And if the teaser is any indication, things get chaotic fast.
“Can I be uncomfortably honest with you? I just didn’t think I’d be here… Like, I’m supposed to have it all figured out,” Paula admits in a voiceover that sets the tone for the series’ emotional (and very unhinged) descent.
The cast rounds out with Jake Johnson as Paula’s ex-husband Karl, Jessy Hodges as his new wife and sharp attorney Mallory, Jon Michael Hill as Detective Baxter, and Dolly de Leon as Detective Sofia Gonzalez.
Also starring are Kiarra Hamagami Goldberg, Charlie Hall, and Nola Wallace.
If you’re into character-driven thrillers where the lead might be just as unreliable as the mystery itself… this one’s already looking like a must-watch.
