‘Dead To Me’ Renewed For Season 2 By Netflix
The Netflix series Dead to Me will live on. The streaming giant announced that the dark comedy starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini has been renewed for a second season. The news was announced Monday night during the show's FYSee panel in Los Angeles.
Created by Liz Feldman ( 2 Broke Girls ), Dead to Me centers on Jen (Applegate), a sardonic widow determined to solve her husband's recent hit-and-run murder, and Judy (Cardellini) an optimistic free spirit who's recently suffered her own tragic loss. When the two women meet at a support group, they become unlikely friends, despite their polar-opposite personalities. But as they bond over bottles of wine, Entenmann's cookies and a shared affinity for The Facts of Life , Judy desperately tries to shield Jen from a shocking secret that could destroy her life as she knows it.
