Trailer: Dead to Me returns for Season 2 this May

11th April 2020

Dead to Me officially returns to Netflix this May, and a new teaser trailer gives us a first glimpse of Season 2.

Created by Liz Feldman, the dark comedy about a dynamic female friendship dives into the painfully unfiltered, weirdly funny waters of grief, loss and forgiveness – with a smattering of dark secrets thrown in.

“The result bristles with ideas, plays with tones and races through plot points with an irresistible relentlessness; the script, like so many page-turners in this streaming age, is paced precisely to encourage binge-watching, with cliffhangers dangling over each end credits sequence,” we wrote in our review. “The result is a neat balance of shallow potboiling thrills and compelling character drama.”

 
Feldman (2 Broke Girls, One Big Happy) will serve as showrunner and executive producer once more, with stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini also returning as Jen (Appelgate) and Judy (Cardellini). You can see them back in action together on 8th May.

Here’s the trailer:
