After Netflix’s TUDUM event Dead to Me has confirmed the most awaited trailer of Dead to Me (Season 3). The final season of Dead to Me is set to globally on 17th November 2022. The one teaser trailer hit yesterday. People who have no idea about the series 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 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 electricity, and also are making some 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 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 very 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 ended. He has signed 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 are handed to Netflix for 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 confirmed that the production was paused temporarily for a 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 in season 3. Her post came alongside the following caption:

And holy shit… Christina Apple gate Linda Cardellini, James Mardsen, Sam McCarthy, Luke Roessler, Diana Maria Riva, Brandon Scott, and Suzy Nakamura all knock it out of the park. So excited for you to see it.”
Dead to Me ( Season 3): Trailer
The new trailer begins with some of the scenes from the last seasons containing Christina Applegate’s character, Jen at the grief therapy that’s wondering and not just understanding, “how much of this could have happened.” the show just cuts to Linda Cardinelli’s character, Judy, one night she has accidentally collided by Jen’s husband with her car. We can able to continue our blast from the past as the trailer depicts several moments containing Jen’s dramatic letter to Judy in which she told her, “I’m so glad that we met. You are the best friend I’ve ever known. The best person I’ve ever known.
The second season has concluded with an insane cliffhanger as Jen and Judy got t-boned o their drive home and set to leave us wondering if the two of them even made it out alive. As the teaser replays the crash, it teased that “all roads have led to this.” In the first footage from Season 3, we just thankfully get the confirmation that they both lived as Judy rushes Jen into the ER. We can also see Jen’s attitude as certainly intact like she has demanded someone get the fucking doctor.
Dead to Me ( Season 3): Release Date
The last and final season of Dead to Me will hit on 17th November 2022, the first and the second season are also available to stream on Netflix. 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 the summer of 2022.
Dead to Me (Season 3): Expectation
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. Now the struggling alcoholic had been drinking the whisky and also ran across the stop sign. It is still not clear if he even has the realization about the hit by Jen and Judy, and the pair got a glimpse of Ben before he had been driven away.,
It will weigh heavily on Ben, who has likely to turn to another bottle, mainly if he thinks that he killed whoever was in the car, which has not been mentioned as being on the way to identify the dead body of t brother. Jen and Judy are very conscious but still not clear what injuries the pair will sustain.
Charlie gets Judy’s letter
After searching in the room for some weed Charlie gets the letter that his mother had written for Judy. It has still not been revealed if Charlie is reading mainly the letter, but if he has, then he will have learned of Judy’s involvement in the hit-and-run death of his father. This is not to mention the guilt of his mother in killing Steve.
As there is such evidence, it would make him innocent as he is still a suspect in the disappearance of Steve. Charlie has been seen to be extremely rebellious, so he could end up blackmailing Judy and Jen, or he will also make their life hell due to the death of his father.
Jen will be caught or not
Jen was ready to face the consequences of the murder of Steve and also had confessed to detective Perez. After the pair become unable to get the body, and also had a heart-to-heart, Perez let her go free.
Nick who has been jot o the case, and also was given the bag of evidence by Judy to incriminate Steve and the father of Steve. She is wishing that Nick could utilize the evidence to protect Jen, but upon realizing that Jen had not been formally confessed yet, she had to go backtrack.
Charlie has given the letter that Jen has confessed to Perez, and also the body of Steve has been at last found out, there are also many threads on the web that might lead back to Jen being arrested.
Dead to Me (Season 3): Episode Titles
There is only one episode title that has been declared so far with that being episo0de 1 titled “We’ve Been Here Before”.

This third season is featuring Christina Applegate as Jen Harding, Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale, Sam McCarthy as Charlie Harding, James Marsden as Steve/ Been Wood, Max Jenkins as Christopher Doyle, Diana Maria Riva as Detective Ana Perez, Brandon Scott as Nick Prager. As the series is in the early production state so we may hear some additional cast. Deadline will play Agent Glenn Morris that described as:
“…a top-notch detective who’s basically the MVP of the FBI. You better believe that if anyone’s gonna get to the bottom of Steve’s murder, it’s Agent Glenn Moranis.”
There is also a bunch of new names that also have been attached to appear for the first time in Dead to Me Season 3. It is just worth noting that all these roles are minor but still worth covering:
