Brooke Shields is pulling double duty with her upcoming series You’re Killing Me. Serving as both an executive producer and cast member, the Actors’ Equity Association president is returning to the small screen in the Acorn TV show, which premieres this month.
“Set in a quaint New England town, the mystery follows bestselling novelist, ‘Allie’ (Shields), who forms an unlikely alliance with an aspiring writer and podcaster ‘Andi’, to find the killer of a close friend,” a description for the series reads.
Hollywood Life has gathered all the details we know so far about Brooke’s latest project below!

What Is the You’re Killing Me Series Release Date?
You’re Killing Me will be released on Acorn TV on May 18, 2026.
Who Is in the Cast of You’re Killing Me?
In addition to Brooke, who plays Allie, the rest of the main cast features Amalia Williamson and Tom Cavanagh. Amalia is known for her performance in Sullivan’s Crossing and plays the role of Andi in You’re Killing Me. For Tom’s part, the Golden Globe-nominated actor is best known for The Flash and Ed and is portraying Jack in the Acorn TV series.
Per the show’s description, Cavanagh’s character, Jack, is the “new lead detective of the local police department and former city slicker who is trying to acclimate to the quirks of small-town life.”
How Many Episodes Are in You’re Killing Me?
The first season of You’re Killing Me has six episodes, and they all explore the buoyantly comical dynamic between Andi and Allie.
During an exclusive red carpet interview with Hollywood Life at the May 7, 2026, premiere, Shields commented on how her and Williamson’s characters, of “two very different generations,” clash over their differences.
“Well, the butting of the heads was what made it really interesting because you’ve got two generations, very different, and they can learn from each other,” Shields noted. “She makes fun of me, I make fun of her, and it’s in that that the dialogue starts and it’s funny, you know what I mean? It’s funny to look to not take those differences so seriously, but actually, learn from the other one.”
