Netflix's Dead To Me confirms series two start date after cliffhanger ending

Dead To Me is returning to Netflix on May 8th for its second series, fans of the show will be delighted to hear.

The dark comedy, which stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, was popular with both fans and critics for the way it dealt with death.

Its two female lead characters meet in a bereavement therapy group and bond over their shared heartache.

The show premiered in May 2019, and its first series ended on a cliffhanger after the death of Steve Wood, played by James Marsden.

Applegate plays Jen, a widowed real estate agent trying to come to terms with her loss of her husband, who was killed in a hit and run.

She is angry and resentful of her life, and she meets Judy, who is greiving for her fiancé who died of a heart attack.

Judy is far more positive in her dealings with grief - but she is hiding a dark secret.
