The Hollywood Reporter

The dark dramedy starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini has been picked up for a final season two months after its second season premiered in May. Netflix has also signed Dead to Me creator Liz Feldman to an overall deal to create more shows. “From start to finish, Dead to Me is exactly the show I wanted to make and it’s been an incredible gift," Feldman said in a statement. "Telling a story sprung from grief and loss has stretched me as an artist and healed me as a human. I’ll be forever indebted to my partners in crime, my friends for life, Christina and Linda, and our brilliantly talented writers, cast and crew. I am beyond grateful to Netflix for supporting Dead To Me from day one, and I’m thrilled to continue our collaboration.” Jane Wiseman, Netflix’s vice president of comedy series, calls Feldman "a comedic force who brings her fresh and distinct point of view to every element of the creative process from inception through writing and producing." Applegate responded to the announcement, tweeting: "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."
