We can not wait.
If you didn’t catch Dead To Me when it first landed on Netflix all those months ago, please do yourself a favour and watch it.
It’s funny, it’s touching, it’s got a fair few decent twists thrown in there for good measure.
It can also be deeply serious at times, placing a necessary and rare focus on grief after the death of a spouse and the countless ways that people react to death – each of them as legitimate and understandable as the next.
Basically, it’s an incredible series of grief, motherhood and friendship, and when word dropped that Netflix had ordered a second season of it, we were of course delighted.
And although we don’t know exactly when the next series of the dark comedy will be gracing our screens, we do at least know that production has started.
And hey, at least that’s something.

Excited? You better be.
Not a lot of information about Dead To Me season two has been revealed, other than Applegate and Cardellini returning as Judy and Jen respectively.
Creator Liz Feldman will also return as showrunner, with Sam McCarthy as Charlie and Luke Roessler as Henry.
The show currently has an 88 per cent Rotten Tomatoes rating, with critics agreeing that the show “… doesn’t always deliver on the gallows humour that it promises, but the sterling duo of Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini elevates the series above its pulpier aspects — offering a deeply moving relationship shaped by mutual grief.”
Bring on season two, we say.
