After the heartbreaking finale of the third season, many fans are asking just one question: Will Dead to Me on Netflix be renewed for Season 4?
Jen’s husband, the father of their two children, has just died in a hit-and-run accident. Jen reacts with bitterness and sarcasm to the loss and the fact that the perpetrator was never identified.
Eventually, she meets the free-spirited, somewhat spiritual Judy in a grief support group. Judy is also struggling with a loss and works in a retirement home. The two very different women become friends, but their bond is repeatedly put to the test – not least because of Judy’s many secrets…
The plot of Dead to Me reaches its climax in the third season. The latest episodes suggest that the story has come to an end – and in fact: there will be no season 4 of the dramedy series. The reason why is explained below.

Dead to Me Season 4 isn’t coming – but why?
It has been known for some time that the series will not continue beyond the third season. In July 2020, actress Christina Applegate, who also served as a producer, explained: “We felt this was the best way to bring the story of these two women to a close.”
Series creator Liz Feldman also commented on the project’s ending. “Dead to Me is, from beginning to end, exactly the show I wanted to make”, she revealed in an interview with Deadline. She went on to say: “A story about human grief and loss challenged me as an artist and healed me as a person.”
