Grief Finds a Gal Pal in Trailer for Netflix’s New Dark Comedy Dead to Me

Netflix has released the trailer for their new dark comedy series Dead to Me, starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini.

The official Netflix synopsis for the new show from Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls, One Big Happy) reads:

Jen (Applegate) is a sardonic widow determined to solve her husband’s recent hit-and-run murder. Judy (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.

James Marsden, Ed Asner and Brandon Scott also star in the rambunctious story of friendship, love, death and the stages in between.

Season one will be available to stream beginning May 3 exclusively on Netflix.
