Status of official renewal: Renewed
Many fans were worried about the future of Dead to Me after Netflix cancelled Santa Clarita Diet (one of Netflix's most beloved comedy series), in recent weeks. We can now confirm that Netflix has renewed Dead to Me for a second season. It's not surprising that the series is so popular among both critics and fans in such a brief time. The series became so popular that 30 million viewers watched it within the first month. The series has a Primetime Emmy nomination and is already a reward magnet.
Soon after Dead to Me was renewed, Dead to Me season 2 writing started. It wasn’t until September 2019 that we got news of the first table read for season two. According to reports, filming began in September.
As Bustle recounts, there are plenty of twists and turns throughout the first season particularly with Judy’s personality flipping constantly throughout.
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”.
Reddit user even suggested a connection between the series and 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.”
While some criticised the first season for being too predictable, others praised its overall humor.
Netflix will soon release a new season. It’s likely that the show will now keep to roughly an annual release. Season two will be available in 2020.
Season two will feature 10 episodes, as in the first season.
Netflix also has a large collection of production stills taken from the new season. This suggests that not only are the cops hot on their tails, but that their love is even stronger.
