The show’s second season will feature Joel McHale and Maggie Lawson as Chris and Christa, a successful, type-A married realtor couple who bring out Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila’s competitive sides. According to Netflix, “Chris and Joel have been competitive since high school, when Chris — a quarterback like Joel — beat Joel in a championship game. The couples have never liked each other and are not shy about it. Theirs is not a model relationship for how adults should behave.”
