Will Ferrell’s ‘All the Rage’ Shocks Netflix, Feldman & Hutchinson

Liz Feldman and Kelly Hutchinson have secured a series order from Netflix for their new dark comedy, All the Rage. The project, co‑created by the two writers, will be executive produced alongside Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum of Gloria Sanchez Productions and Christie Smith for Rise Management.

Netflix’s approval marks another collaboration with Feldman after her previous series, No Good Deed, was placed on hold.

The half‑hour show follows Emma and Eli, former friends who reconnect after a long estrangement and plot revenge against the man who tore them apart. The concept blends sharp humor with emotional stakes, a formula Feldman and Hutchinson have refined in earlier work.

Their partnership also extends to a renewed overall deal with Netflix, ensuring continued development of series and films for the streaming giant.

The deal underscores Feldman’s trajectory since signing her first overall agreement with Netflix in 2020. The partnership has yielded Dead to Me, while No Good Deed starring Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano remains paused but not officially canceled.

With All the Rage now on the slate, Feldman’s long‑term creative relationship with the platform deepens.

## Background & Context

Feldman’s career has been defined by sharp, character‑driven comedy. After earning acclaim for Dead to Me, she expanded her scope with No Good Deed, a series that was put on hold but retained the possibility of return. In 2020, Feldman signed an overall deal with Netflix that set the stage for future collaborations.

The new project, All the Rage, continues that pattern by pairing her with fellow writer Kelly Hutchinson, who previously contributed to Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini‑led series and Apple’s Palm Royale.

Hutchinson’s experience on television comedy lends a complementary perspective to Feldman’s storytelling style. Together, they crafted a narrative about two old friends seeking vengeance, a premise that balances dark themes with comedic timing.

Their partnership has already proven successful; the duo’s previous collaboration on Dead to Me earned praise for its blend of humor and emotional depth. All the Rage is poised to build on that legacy.

Gloria Sanchez Productions, represented by Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum, brings additional expertise in dark comedy. Ferrell’s background in satire and Elbaum’s experience as an executive producer add layers of industry insight. Christie Smith, representing Rise Management, rounds out the executive production team.

These collaborators reinforce the project’s potential to resonate with audiences looking for sharp, witty storytelling.

## What People Are Saying

Feldman and Hutchinson expressed enthusiasm about the series order. “We’re thrilled to tell this completely made‑up story about revenge inspired by our very real friendship of 30 years,” they said. They added that Netflix’s partnership supports their creative vision and funding for the project.

The statement also highlighted their commitment to channeling “30 years of neurosis and resentment” into the narrative.

Netflix’s VP of Comedy Series, Tracey Pakosta, praised the duo’s long‑term friendship. “Her decades‑long friendship with Kelly fuels their unique and sharp creative chemistry, which they showcased during their collaboration on Dead to Me,” she said.

Pakosta concluded that All the Rage will blend dark comedy and emotional depth in a way only Feldman and Hutchinson can achieve.

The production team’s representation details further illustrate the project’s industry support. Feldman is represented by CAA and Rise Management, while Hutchinson is represented by UTA, SEL Media Group, and Goodman Genow Schenkman.

Ferrell’s representation includes UTA, Mosaic, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman, and Elbaum is also represented by UTA. These affiliations signal strong backing from key talent agencies.

## What Happens Next

All the Rage will move into development for Netflix under the guidance of the executive producers. While a formal release date has not yet been announced, the series is slated for production following the approval process.

The involvement of experienced producers and a solid overall deal positions the project for a timely rollout on the streaming platform.

The project also benefits from Feldman’s continued relationship with Netflix, ensuring ongoing collaboration on future series and films. This partnership may lead to additional projects that leverage Feldman’s reputation for incisive humor.

For now, viewers can anticipate a dark comedy that fuses revenge with wit, brought to life by a seasoned creative team.

As the development phase progresses, industry insiders will likely provide updates on casting and production timelines. Fans of Feldman and Hutchinson’s previous work can expect a series that promises sharp dialogue and layered characters, delivered through Netflix’s expansive distribution network.
