Primetime Emmy nominee Linda Cardellini (Mad Men, Bloodline) will star alongside Golden Globe nominee Christina Applegate (Up All Night, Samantha Who?, Bad Moms franchise) in the upcoming dark comedy Netflix series Dead to Me, Deadline has confirmed.
Judy desperately needs someone to connect with and finds a common ground and support system in Jen (Applegate).
Dead to Me is executive produced by Applegate with Gary Sanchez’s Will Ferrell, and Adam McKay alongside Jessica Elbaum (I’m Sorry) of the female-focused Gloria Sanchez Productions.
Written by showrunner Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls, The Great Indoors), Dead to Me is a dark comedy about a powerful friendship that blossoms between a tightly-wound widow, Jen, and a free spirit with a shocking secret, Judy.
