What’s This TV Show About?

A Netflix dark comedy, Dead to Me stars Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini, Max Jenkins, Luke Roessler, James Marsden, Ed Asner, and Brandon Scott. The story centers on Jen (Applegate), a recently widowed woman who is bitter and desperate to solve the mystery behind hit-and-run murder of her husband. She meets free-spirit Judy (Cardellini) at a grief support group and, despite their differences, the two bond. Although Judy is the one person who doesn’t make Jen feel like she’s failing, she’s also keeping a shocking secret from Jen, which could change everything.
 

Telly’s Take

Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether Netflix will cancel or renew Dead to Me for season two. Since Netflix isn’t ad-supported, it can take a chance on series it believes in and stories that need telling, but sooner or later it comes down to production costs, versus viewership numbers. Just ask fans of the One Day at a Time reboot. Generally speaking, Netflix TV shows which are going to be renewed are usually picked up within a month or so of the series or season premiere. For now, I’ll keep my ears open and an eye on the trades and press releases, and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Dead to Me cancellation or renewal alerts.
