Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a>, who is an executive producer on Newlyweds, brought her fresh sitcom roles to the couple last summer.<\/p>\n“We’d just gotten married, and Jamie promised she was going to be a part of it,” says Leoni of signing on to the series, which also stars Emma Meisel, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Bill O’Neil. “It was a no-brainer.”<\/p>\n
Leoni and Daly tied the knot in July 2025, more than a decade after first meeting on the set of Madam Secretary. They married in New York in a small, intimate ceremony, attended only by immediate family, Leoni’s rep confirmed to PEOPLE at the time.<\/p>\n

Now, the pair hopes that Newlyweds encourages viewers to go after romance in their own lives\u2014 no matter their age.<\/p>\n
“I hope that James and Jeanie’s stupidity inspires lots of young people,” says Leoni. “Do it. Get out there! Say yes.”<\/p>\n
Daly echoes his wife’s enthusiasm. “If you’re open to the possibility, then [love] has a good chance of finding you,” he says. “It takes just that little bit of willingness to embrace life, to realize that time is limited and to go out and give it a shot and see if love crashes into you.”<\/p>\n
Newlyweds premieres Friday, Oct. 23, at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.<\/p>\n
