Kristen Bell is no stranger to solving crimes.
She spent four seasons and a movie as Veronica Mars.
But the latest trailer for The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window shows Bell in a very different role than before.
The name of the show is quite the mouthful, and if there was ever an award for worst-named TV show, we're sure it would win.
You probably have some idea about what the show is about from the title, but here is the official logline:
For heartbroken Anna (Kristen Bell), every day is the same. She sits with her wine, staring out the window, watching life go by without her.
But when a handsome neighbor (Tom Riley) and his adorable daughter (Samsara Yett) move in across the street, Anna starts to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
That is until she witnesses a gruesome murder.

Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell are joining comedic forces once again, this time as an unlikely therapist-patient duo in Apple TV Plus’ upcoming limited series, “The Shrink Next Door,” which premieres on Nov. 12.
In the first teaser for the dark comedy, psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf (Rudd) asks his longtime patient Martin “Marty” Markowitz (Ferrell) to stop using “the f-word” — but it’s not what you think. Ike wants Marty to stop saying he’s “fine,” because as the teaser shows, he clearly isn’t. The clip features Marty breaking down in various ways, until one day, he has a breakthrough. As Billy Joel’s “My Life” plays, Ike and Marty form a boundary-crossing friendship, one that eventually involves Marty burying what appears to be a dead body.
