“Dead to Me” has been revamped for season 3 on Netflix, which will also serve as the latest dark comedy. The news comes approximately two months after the season 2 launch in May.
With the renewal, Netflix also announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with series creator Liz Feldman for original series and other projects.
“Dead to Me” stars Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini, and James Marsden. The show follows Jen (Applegate), a sardonic widow determined to solve the recent murder of her husband, and Judy (Cardellini), an optimistic free spirit who recently suffered her own tragic loss. When the two women meet in a support group, they become unlikely friends despite their opposite personalities.
“From start to finish, ‘Dead To Me’ is exactly the show I wanted to do,” said Feldman. “And it has been an incredible gift. Telling a story that grew out of pain and loss has stretched me as an artist and healed me as a human. I will forever be indebted to my partners in crime, my lifelong friends, Christina and Linda, and our brilliantly talented writers, cast and crew. I am more than grateful to Netflix for supporting ‘Dead To Me’ from day one, and I am delighted to continue our collaboration. ”
