One of the more underrated series of 2019 returns this spring, with Season 2 of “Dead to Me” on Netflix. And it appears that the dark comedy is picking up right where the previous season ended.
If you watch the new teaser for Season 2 of “Dead to Me,” you know how the first batch of episodes of the Netflix comedy series ended—with a very bloody death in a pool. As we see in the brief new footage, that’s just where the new episodes pick up, with the two lead characters trying to keep the death a secret, while also trying to figure out where to go from there. This season clearly is setting up a Coens-esque crime story with two women that clearly have no idea how to be criminals attempting to figure out how to get away with a grisly crime.

Season 2 of “Dead to Me” arrives on Netflix on May 8.
Here’s the synopsis:
Jen (Christina Applegate), Judy (Linda Cardellini) and the lies that entwine them are back. Picking up in the aftermath of that bloody backyard reveal, the irrepressible pair once again struggle to keep their secrets buried. With a surprising new visitor in town and Detective Perez (Diana Maria Riva) hot on their heels, Jen and Judy take drastic measures to protect their loved ones and each other — no matter the cost. From Emmy Award-winning creator Liz Feldman, Dead to Me returns for an addictively dark second season, where the stakes are higher, the friendship is deeper and the traumas that bond loom larger than ever before.
