Dead to Me Season Two Renewal Status

Official renewal status: Renewed (Last updated: 04/06/2019)

After Netflix recently canned one of its most popular comedy shows, Santa Clarita Diet, many fans have feared for the future of Dead to Me. Put those worries to rest, as we can confirm that Netflix has indeed renewed Dead to Me for another season. This comes as no surprise considering how popular the series has become in such a short period of time amongst both fans and critics. In fact, the series was so popular, 30 million people watched it in the first month. In addition, the series is a rewards magnet already with a primetime Emmy nomination under its belt.

What to expect from season two of Dead to Me

As Bustle recounts, there are plenty of twists and turns throughout the first season, particularly with Judy’s personality constantly flipping.

Despite this, season one wrapped its story nicely, but that’s not to say there couldn’t be more to explore. As one Redditor said, it could focus more on “redemption and trying to make amends with someone you wronged.”

One Reddit even had a theory about how the series relates to The Great Gatsby.

Storywise, here’s how Netflix describes the second season:

“Picking up in the aftermath of that bloody backyard reveal, the irrepressible pair once again struggle to keep their secrets buried. With a surprising new visitor in town and Detective Perez (Diana Maria Riva) hot on their heels, Jen and Judy take drastic measures to protect their loved ones and each other — no matter the cost. From Emmy Award-winning creator Liz Feldman, Dead to Me returns for an addictively dark second season, where the stakes are higher, the friendship is deeper and the traumas that bond loom larger than ever before.”

Some criticized the first season as being a little too predictable but praised the overall humor of the show.

As for when a new season would drop onto Netflix, it’s likely that the show will now keep to roughly an annual release. In this case, you can expect season two to arrive in early 2020.

How many episodes will there be in Dead to Me season two?

Netflix has also released a huge batch of new production stills from the new season that suggests that the police are hot on the tail of the pair but also their relationship is stronger than ever.
