The 58-year-old is best known for playing quirky Phoebe Buffay in the classic American sitcom from 1994 to 2004.


But now she will be starring in a new poltergeist comedy on HBO Max called The Parenting.

Lisa will star alongside Succession's Brian Cox, Edie Falco and Dean Norris, who will play her on-screen husband.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that the premise for the show focuses on a young couple called Josh and Graham, who rent a house in the country to introduce their parents to one another.

However, things take a scary-yet-comedic turn when they discover the house is haunted by a 400-year-old ghost.
