Peacock's 'Laid' Explores Curses, Complex Friendships, and Unfinished Business

The dark comedy series concludes its first season with unresolved mysteries, a focus on female friendship, and hints at a deeper family curse.

The show centers on Ruby, whose sexual partners mysteriously die in the order she slept with them, and her best friend AJ's efforts to uncover the cause.
The season finale introduces new revelations about Ruby's curse, including its origin in a hex placed by a former lover and its potential familial connection.
Ruby and AJ’s friendship takes center stage as they navigate betrayal, personal growth, and the challenge of preserving their bond amidst chaos.
The finale leaves key questions unanswered, including the full extent of the curse's mythology and its implications for Ruby’s estranged father, who shares a similar experience.
Peacock has yet to confirm a second season, but the show’s mix of sharp humor, strong performances, and unique storytelling has sparked interest for its continuation.
