Dead to Me, an American black comedy TV series, became an instant hit after its premiere on May 3rd, 2019. The writer Liz Feldman wasted no time in renewing the series for a second season after its big hit. Feldman says, “What you’re watching in Dead To Me is very much through my lens – how I approach life. I’m a comedian, so my way of handling grief and loss is to feel it and go through it, but also to find the moments that are funny. Inevitably, there’s something funny in almost every dark thing. If you can find a way to laugh at it, we all know that that helps. It’s my coping mechanism.” And also added by saying that she would want to run this show for as many seasons as possible.
