What could happen in Dead To Me season 2?
The first season of Dead To Me ended on a major cliffhanger, with Jen (Applegate) and Judy (Cardellini) standing over the dead body of Judy's ex-fiancé Steve (James Marsden) – and Jen is seemingly the one who shot him.
However, creator Liz Feldman says that the ending "is not exactly what you think", and that "Netflix will have to order a season two for us all to find out" whether or not Jen killed Steve.
A bait-and-switch would be in-step with the rest of the show: season one was filled with surprising twists and turns, regularly subverting viewers' expectations. The biggest of these was the revelation that Judy, Jen's new friend, was responsible for the hit-and-run that left her husband dead.
“There’s an evening of the score and there’s a rebalancing that will take place and almost, in some ways, a role reversal,” Feldman told The Hollywood Reporter. “This show will always be a show that explores the dark sides and the light sides of grief, loss, forgiveness and friendship. So suffice to say, there will be more darkness.”
Is there a trailer?
Yes, though it doesn't give much away...
