Looking for Shows like ‘Dead to Me’? Try One of These 11 Tonight
When we first heard series creator Liz Feldman confirm that Dead to Me is returning for a third (and final) season, we were full of mixed emotions (and left searching for even more shows like Dead to Me).
“From start to finish, Dead to Me is exactly the show I wanted to make. And it’s been an incredible gift,” Feldman said in a statement, according to Deadline. “Telling a story sprung from grief and loss has stretched me as an artist and healed me as a human. I’ll be forever indebted to my partners in crime, my friends for life, Christina and Linda, and our brilliantly talented writers, cast and crew. I am beyond grateful to Netflix for supporting Dead to Me from day one, and I’m thrilled to continue our collaboration.”
We still have no official word on when we can expect the new season to arrive, especially since the coronavirus pandemic has pushed back its original May 2021 air date. Unfortunately, this means we have some serious time to kill. So, while we wait for answers, why not binge shows like Dead to Me in the meantime? Keep reading for 11 you can start streaming right now.
