Netflix has released a trailer for its upcoming comedy series, Welcome to the Family, which blends elements of mystery and dark humor. The show appears to be a mix of Knives Out and Weekend at Bernie’s, focusing on a family’s chaotic attempts to navigate a posthumous inheritance.
The plot centers on a struggling single mother who must outsmart a mafia boss after her estranged father dies, leaving behind significant debt tied to their family home. The mother, Cristina, and her father’s second wife, Luciana, devise a plan to hide the body until they can falsify the will to reclaim their property.
As the story unfolds, the family’s efforts to maintain their deception are complicated by a curious neighbor and a lovesick police officer. The trailer indicates a blend of slapstick comedy and crime, featuring eccentric characters and exaggerated scenarios.
Originally titled Bienvenidos a la Familia in Mexico, the series is a remake of the Catalan show Benvinguts a la família, which gained critical acclaim during its original run. The new version aims for a broader appeal with a higher production value, distinguishing it from the darker themes of its predecessor.
Fans of black comedies can look forward to this series, which is set to premiere on Netflix in March. The cast includes well-known actors from Mexican cinema and telenovelas, promising a familiar face for viewers.
