It is reported that season 3 of Dead to Me is still going forward at Netflix despite facing a couple of delays in the production. The shooting was paused in august 2021 and also again in late 2021 but at last, the shooting was completed just after the diagnosis of Christina Applegate and had been picked back again.
The people who have no idea about the series, we will like to know that it is a Netflix Original black comedy series made by Liz Feldman. This series has become fast one of the most-watched shows on Netflix and has been amassed an audience of over 30 million worldwide for the first season. Dead to Me has also been a big pull for the wards seasons also with previous seasons picking up 5 Primetime Emmys
The story of the series just belongs to the chemistry between Christina Applegate and Lina Cardellini. On-screen, they are together just the spark of electric, and also who are making some of the truly hilarious comedy, and also contain such heart-wrenching drama.
Dead to Me ( Season 3): Renewal Status
After two months after the premiering of the second season, Netflix has declared the return of the series for the third and the final season. We know this news is not quite surprising, this series just has been featured heavily on the most popular TV series lists on Netflix, most importantly, it sat at the top of the US charts on the day of release.
In the renewal, Christina Applegate took the social media and share her view on the declaration of the final season saying, “ I will miss these ladies. But we felt this was the best way to tie up the story of these women. Thank you to all the fans. We will be getting back to work when it is safe to do so.”
The fans of the show have faced the dread of Netflix’s cancelation curse that should know that the series was always intended to be wrapped up early and not go on for seasons and seasons. Liz Feldman in an interview said she always envisioned that it would not be ‘ a long-running show”
Feldman expanded saying, “I always had the sense that I wanted this show to be a relatively short-running one. I understand the landscape at Netflix. It’s very rare for them to have a show that also goes with five, six or seven seasons. It can happen, but it’s obviously the exception. Halfway through shooting season two, an idea came to me that felt ver4y true to the show- and I realized that it could be a really great way to end it”
The good news I that Liz Feldman will stick with Netflix once Dead to Me has been ended. He has signed on an overall deal which means any new projects that the creator has will come to Netflix. There are no other such new projects that have yet to be declared.
Dead to Me ( Season 3): Production Status
The filming of the show had been paused temporarily. There is the writing that has been commenced after the renewal and then it has taken several months until the scripts had been handed to Netflix approval.
Liz Feldman took to Twitter on 18th September 2020 to share that she has been pitched the third season “ to my partners” and at last it had been approved.
In October 2020, we have just learned that CBS Studios was focusing to start the shooting of season 3 in January 2021. It had been stated that the previous interviews that the production would not begin until December 2020 at the earliest.
In January 2021, it was reported by ProductionWeekly that the shooting was scheduled to begin later this month. Once again big thanks to the uncertainty of the global pandemic, the dates had been pushed back further.
The shooting had come underway on 10th May 2021. It was expected to end on 2nd August 2021. The lead actress Christina Applegate shared an image of one of the Dead to Me chairs onset to all and also has been confirmed that the shooting was still underway. It was at first expected that production would wrap by September 2021.
At last in August 2021, Christina Applegate exposed that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. After multiple resources have been confirmed that the production was paused temporarily for the time and since then we had not even heard about any news based on the show picking back up.
In December 2021, Deadline was reported that the filming was picked up In 2021 but also had been canceled due to the several Cassese of COVID-19. It has been confirmed that there are still three weeks of shooting remaining that will happen anytime in 2022.
It seems that on 11th February Diana Maria Riva posted on Inst6agream to say that the shooting had ended on season 3. Her post came alongside the following caption:
“And that, Ladies & Gentleman, is a series final wrap for Det. Perez. So grateful to finally be a part of this…so excited for you all to see this story play out. Big love to my #DTM family!!!”
Dead to Me ( Season 3): Release Date
It is very sad that we have still got no indication as to while season 3 of Dead to Me will be coming to Netflix although we are expecting it to come in 022 provided the production has wound down like early 2022.
On 14th January, Christina Applegate had been replied to a fan saying that season 3 will be coming soon but for the moment. We have not got any such concept of when the show will be returning.
It seems that if you are forced to guess that we had predicted that season 3 of Dead To Me would be on Netflix sometime in summer 2022.

Crash Aftermath
Ben is presumedly on the way to identify the body of his dead brother Steve, who was hit by the car that Je and Judy had at the intersection.
