The series explores “how an alleged curse disrupts a young married couple’s relationship as they try to conceive a child while co-starring on their problematic new HGTV show, Flipanthropy.

How many episodes will there be in the first season?
The creators have yet to disclose the number of episodes for the half-hour series. However, when it airs on Showtime, the curse is sure to please both critics and audiences.
What is the plot of The Curse?
The story will centre on a newlywed couple who also happen to be the stars of an HGTV show. This show-within-a-show will be called “Flipanthropy” in a darkly humorous gag.
Unfortunately, the couple’s journey won’t be without bumps as “Flipanthropy” will be a problematic production. Even worse, there will be some curse that will affect the couple’s relationship.
We’re still determining whether this is a physical or symbolic curse. But whatever happens, we’re confident it will be hilarious. Showtime executive Amy Israel has promised (via The Hollywood Reporter) “a groundbreaking satire that is both unexpected and deeply human.”
