The Watcher: Cast, Trailer, Plot
Jennifer Coolidge Is a Kooky Realtor in the Teaser For Netflix's Horror Series "The Watcher"
Real estate can be a nightmare in the upcoming Netflix series "The Watcher." Based on a true story, the show is about a married couple, played by Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale, whose dream home turns into a nightmare. After they move in, they're harassed by a stalker who signs their letters as simply "The Watcher." Jennifer Coolidge also stars in the new limited series as Karen, their realtor, and in the first preview for the series, released Sept. 9, she gives a slightly kooky tour of the house that the couple ends up buying. At the end, she ominously issues a warning to look out for people who might be watching them. Check out the teaser ahead!
"The Watcher" is based on a 2018 article from The Cut. Watts told Entertainment Weekly in 2021 that the real story out of Westfield, New Jersey, was "so freaky," which she loved. "That's what got me in!" she said. Watts also said she was "thrilled" to be working with Ryan Murphy, who created the series with frequent collaborator Ian Brennan. "It's a genre that you know I love," she said of returning to horror. Watts previously starred in "The Ring" and "The Ring 2," and she also stars in this fall's horror movie remake, "Goodnight Mommy."
Netflix hasn't announced a release date for "The Watcher" yet, though it's scheduled to debut before 2022 ends. While we wait to marathon watch the show, read on for everything we know about "The Watcher," including the cast and trailer.
