With the sheer number of psychological thriller movies and shows that have been released over the years, it was only a matter of time before someone took a satirical yet not dismissive approach to the genre. That show, The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (yes, it needs its long AF title), made its Netflix debut on January 28 and brought with it a story about a heartbroken woman losing touch with reality as she attempts to solve a murder.

After watching the first episode or making it all the way to The Woman in the House Across the Street ending, you may be asking yourself where you’ve seen the actors before. If that’s the case, then you’ve certainly come to the right place, because we’re going to break it down now and unfold the mystery of The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window cast.

There are also shows like The Good Place, and a long list of movies that includes Bad Moms and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, that Bell is known for.

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
