“Dead to Me” Season 2 Gets First Trailer and Release Date

Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini in "Dead to Me"

Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini gave us one of Netflix’s best black comedies with Dead to Me, and they’re ready for another wild ride. The second season is coming our way next month, and the first teaser is here.

The season 2 trailer kicks off with a voiceover saying, “I just want things to go back to before. Before everything happened.” It obviously refers to the bloody pool scene from last season’s finale, as Jen and Judy deal with its aftermath.

The short clip doesn’t reveal much of the plot, but tiny glimpses of season 2 are just enough to pique our interest and make us want to tune in when Dead to Me returns to Netflix. Luckily, we won’t have to wait for too long. The new season is expected to start streaming on May 8th.

Dead to Me premiered on Netflix last year, and it focuses on an unlikely friendship between two women who are dealing with grief on their own terms. In addition to Applegate and Cardellini, the series also starred James Marsden, Max Jenkins, and Sam McCarthy.
