‘Dead to Me’ Announces Third and Final Season on Netflix

Series creator, writer and executive producer, Liz Feldman, has announced the renewal and final season for Netflix’s hit dramedy, Dead to Me. 

Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini and James Marsden will unite for one more season.

Thrilled to keep working with @1capplegate & @lindacardellini and our amazing writers, cast & crew for one more season! @deadtome has been and continues to be the most creatively & personally fulfilling experience of my life. Profoundly grateful for all of it. https://t.co/xbWijfG61c

In the series’ first season, 30 million viewers met Jen and Judy, two unlikely women that needed each other’s friendship to get through their current grief. Jen, a recent widow and mother of two, learns the truth about Judy’s secret that she shares with her ex-fiancé, Steve. As the series continued to unfold, viewers were exposed to strong performances by cast members such as Steve’s mother (Frances Conroy, American Horror Story) and Judy’s mother, (Katy Sagal, Sons of Anarchy). Although filming for the final season has yet to be scheduled, fans could expect the final season to premiere on Netflix as early as 2021.

I will miss these ladies. But we felt this was the best way to tie up the story of these women. Thank you to all the fans. We will be getting back to work when it is safe to do so. Much love https://t.co/tJXf31EDhe

We could not be more excited to expand our relationship with Liz and continue to work with her on ‘Dead to Me’ and future series to come.”
