Paul Rudd's Netflix comedy Living With Yourself ended its first season with a twist, but will there be a second season to see the fallout? As of now, the fate of the quirky clone comedy is still unknown. Netflix hasn't released any statements on the matter and probably won't for a while, since the show is still so new, but according to the show's creator, the door is definitely open to continue the story.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, series creator Timothy Greenberg explains that he always intended to write this batch of episodes toward a satisfying, if not neatly wrapped up, finale.
"I like these characters and I wanted them to have happy endings - whatever that means," he explained. "I would actually say 'satisfied' endings; it's not always happy. That's important: sometimes bad things can be satisfying or appropriate in a different way. I want...

For a lot of people, Netflix’s “Living With Yourself” has turned the perfect dream into the perfect live-action reality: Two Paul Rudds, no waiting. The series — about a sad sack named Miles Elliot (Rudd), who undergoes a mysterious spa treatment and comes out the other side with a superior version of himself (Rudd) — has brought the A-list actor to the small screen once more in a starring role, this time with double the Rudd, double the fun.
Only, for both Miles and New Miles, this isn’t fun or a dream: It’s an absolute nightmare, one that culminates in a fight scene between Rudd’s Miles and Rudd’s New Miles in the season finale.
Vulture recently spoke with series creator Timothy Greenberg, Rudd, co-directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and stage and screen choreographers the Kuperman brothers about how exactly that fight came to be, from the...

Tom Brady Insists Massage Parlor Cameo on Netflix Series Wasn't a Dig at Patriots Owner Robert Kraft
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is setting the record straight about a recent Netflix cameo that has caught the Internet’s attention.
Brady makes a brief appearance in the Paul Rudd-fronted Living With Yourself, which dropped its first season on Oct. 18. In the first episode, Rudd’s character, Miles, arrives at the Top Happy Spa, a strip mall massage parlor where he hopes to receive a rejuvenating treatment (of sorts) that will improve his life. The character is skeptical until he sees Brady walk out of the spa, looking refreshed.

Update: New England quarterback Tom Brady has vehemently denied that he was parodying Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s prostitution bust in a promo for the Netflix comedy Living With Yourself.
“That’s not what that was about,” Brady said to ESPN. “I think that was taken out of context, just like you’re taking it out of context and trying to make it a story for yourself, which has a negative connotation to it, which I don’t appreciate. It was meant to be something different than that. The fact it’s a distraction or you’re bringing it up is not something I want to be talking about.”
Brady said he would never dig at his boss and that he had not spoken to Kraft.
“I think everybody knows what our relationship is about. For 20 years, it’s nothing but love and respect,” Brady said. “I’ve been through...

“Living With Yourself” is the kind of show that sends the spoiler discourse into overdrive. Starring Paul Rudd twice over, I can’t even tell you why there are two characters played by the affable everyman turned “Ant-Man” without blowing the big, initial surprise of Netflix’s new original series. The premise itself is a spoiler, and when that happens, lines are drawn: You’re either irate that some writer has spoiled the show’s central twist before you could watch it, or you’re confused and disinterested by the vague plot descriptions in an empty, superlative-laced review.
So I’m going to spoil it. Consider this your warning, but if you need a yay or nay on “Living With Yourself” before we get into specifics, here’s my brief, assured yay vote: Paul Rudd gets to embody every iteration of Paul Rudd, from the whiny baby-man we met in...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Living With Yourself,” streaming now on Netflix.
When writer and producer Timothy Greenberg was a child, he used to have a recurring nightmare. In it, he was sitting at his family’s kitchen table when the doorbell would ring and suddenly he would feel terrified, with his heart racing. His father would open the door, and there was another young Greenberg at the door. Something about that concept scared him then and stuck with him enough throughout the years that he revisited it in multiple story ideas, finally selling it as “Living With Yourself,” an eight-episode comedy for Netflix that stars Paul Rudd.
“I think that central question of identity and if you really could sit with another you, how would that make you feel, what would you think about seeing yourself from the outside is really interesting,” Greenberg tells Variety.

(Warning: The following story contains mild spoilers for “Living With Yourself”)
“Living With Yourself,” the new Netflix comedy from “Daily Show” alum Timothy Greenberg that debuted on Friday, gives Paul Rudd a chance to shine… twice.
For Greenberg, however, the series was a chance for him to try and answer a few personal questions.
“I had the idea a long time ago. What if there was another you out there in the world?” he told TheWrap, adding that it was initially more a science-fiction concept. “And then as time went on and I got married and had a family and sort of, the concerns about how I am, how I’m behaving with my family. When I’m the better or worse versions of myself. It’s one thing if you’re sitting in your apartment alone and you’re kind of acting like a jerk… so that became more of a question to me.

Paul Rudd has tackled a range of roles, but Netflix's Living With Yourself is the first time the actor had to wrap his mind around playing two versions of the same character.
The eight-episode sci-fi dramedy, created and written by Timothy Greenberg, stars Rudd as Miles, an unsatisfied middle-aged man who finds himself meandering about his marriage, job and life, having seemingly given up on the idea that things could be better. When a c-oworker tips him off to an experimental therapy treatment, things go disastrously (and comically) wrong. Instead of emerging as a better version of himself from the ...

If adding Paul Rudd to any film or TV project makes that project better — and I think we can all agree it does — Netflix doubles down on that notion with its new series Living With Yourself, debuting next Friday, Oct. 18 on the streamer. (I’ve seen all eight episodes.) The immensely likable Rudd puts his casual charisma to great use here in a boldly surreal, Charlie Kaufman-esque sci-fi comedy, and though it runs out of narrative gas in later episodes, the unapologetically weird concept and Rudd’s appeal make it worth sticking around to see how it all turns out.

Paul Rudd is such a naturally ebullient actor that it can be startling to see him ground down. A gifted physical performer who, at 50, looks so youthful that his appearance tends to precede all other attributes when he’s discussed, Rudd also still has the verve and energy of a rising star — a quality that he seems to enjoy playing against. Directed by Judd Apatow, Rudd helped give the films “Knocked Up” and “This is 40” their heft by sapping himself of fun and light. We wanted to see Rudd light on his feet because we know he shouldn’t be subject to entropy like the rest of us.
The new light drama series “Living with Yourself” makes this device literal: It forces us to compare the Rudd we think we know with Rudd as he might be, were he one of us. The pilot presents us with Rudd’s Miles in pieces,...

Debuting on Netflix on October 18, “Living With Yourself” stars Paul Rudd as Miles Elliott, a man struggling at a crossroads in life who undergoes an experimental spa treatment that promises to make him a better person. However, Miles discovers that, instead, he’s actually been replaced, literally, by the better version of himself. Netflix promises a loopy, existential comedy that asks “Do we really want to be better?”
The quirky, science-fiction premise sounds eerily similar to director Charlie McDowell’s “The One I Love” from 2014, wherein Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss, as a couple in crisis, confront their doppelgängers while trying to work out the kinks in their relationship.
The eight-episode series stars Paul Rudd, Aisling Bea, Desmin Borges (“You’re the Worst”), Karen Pittman (“The Morning Show”), Zoe Chao, and Rob Yang (“Succession”).

Paul Rudd is set to star in a new comedy series coming to Netflix called Living With Yourself. The series comes from the directors of Little Miss Sunshine, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and here's what was revealed about the show:
Rudd will play dual roles in the series, which follows a man struggling in life, who undergoes a new treatment to become a better person.
That sounds like an interesting premise. The series was created by Timothy Greenberg and all eight episodes in the series will be directed by Dayton and Faris.
As a fan of Paul Rudd, I'll be looking forward to seeing how this turns out. This isn't the first Netflix project that he's been involved with. He also starred in Duncan Jones' Mute and reprised his role in the Wet Hot American Summer revival.

Ant-Man star Paul Rudd will star in a Netflix comedy series, called Living with Yourself, on which he’ll play dual roles.
While the idea that Netflix is conjuring up another series is hardly stop-the-presses-worthy (as if that was a valid concept on the Internet), one of the streaming giant’s new comedy series, Living with Yourself, will be headlined by the size-fluid superhero of Marvel's Ant-Man movies, Paul Rudd.
Netflix scripted comedy Living with Yourself is set as an 8-episode series, headlined by Paul Rudd. The plot is described as following a man who's struggling in life, who decides to undergo a “novel treatment” that promises to make him a better person. While the patient does indeed become new and improved, he probably should have been careful about what he wished for, since the changes also reveal that he’s his own worst enemy. Thus,...

Something vaguely shocking: Trevor Noah taking over "The Daily Show" almost feels like a non-event. Maybe it's because we're slightly hungover, hot-take-wise, from Stephen Colbert taking over "The Late Show." Maybe it's because, beyond his initial opening monologue, it's relatively business as usual for the series. "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah" might have a new name, but much of the core creative team from Jon Stewart's era is still working behind the scenes, including executive producers Steve Bodow, Jen Flanz, Tim Greenberg, Jill Katz and Adam Lowitt. There's a new man behind the desk, but in many respects it's still recognizably the same show.

"The biggest challenge is going to be an exciting one I’m sure is how are we going to bring all of that together looking at it from a bigger lens as opposed to just going after one source — which was historically Fox News.” This means all of the internet can be pilloried!Noah will be keeping the executive producers around: Steve Bodow, Jen Flanz, Tim Greenberg, Jill Katz, and Adam Lowitt have all re-signed their contracts.

Their reports, which will begin airing Wednesday night (Comedy Central, 11 pm Et/Pt), couldn't be more timely.
