Dead to Me Picked Up for Final Season on Netflix; CBS All Access Orders Star Trek Animated Comedy

The brilliant Dead to Me has been renewed for a third (and final) season by Netflix! In addition to Dead To Me's renewal, Netflix has formed a multi-year partnership with creator Liz Feldman for original series and other projects. In this series, a hotheaded widow searching for the hit-and-run driver who mowed down her husband befriends an eccentric optimist who isn't quite what she seems. Jen (Christina Applegate) is a sardonic widow determined to solve her husband's recent hit-and-run murder. Judy (Linda Cardellini) is an optimistic free spirit who's recently suffered her own tragic loss. When the two women meet at a support group, they become unlikely friends despite their polar-opposite personalities. But as they bond over bottles of wine, Entenmann's cookies and a shared affinity for The Facts of Life, Judy desperately tries to shield Jen from a shocking secret that could destroy her life as she knows it. Dead to Me, created by Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls, One Big Happy), is an addictive dark comedy that dives into the painfully unfiltered, weirdly funny waters of grief, loss and forgiveness. Stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini will return to the series as Jen (Appelgate) and Judy (Cardellini). Season 3 release date will be announced at a later date. The first season was released last May and the second season was released this past May.

Cerritos, in 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. The Starfleet crew residing in the "lower decks" of the U.S.S. Cerritos, includes "Ensign Beckett Mariner," voiced by Tawny Newsome, "Ensign Brad Boimler," voiced by Jack Quaid, "Ensign Tendi," voiced by Noël Wells and "Ensign Rutherford," voiced by Eugene Cordero.
