Here's everything viewers need to know about Dead to Me season 3 including the renewal status, possible release date, and story details. The Netflix series created a lot of buzz with its debut in May 2019, and the most recent installment provides even more twists and turns. The dark comedy is created by Liz Feldman and stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini as the two leading stars.

Dead to Me isn't just a dark comedy, it's known as a "traumedy" or a "tragicomedy" of sorts. The series follows two women, Jen Harding (Applegate) and Judy Hale (Cardellini), who strike up a unique friendship after meeting at a therapy session for those suffering from grief. Jen is a recent widow whose husband was killed in a hit-and-run. Judy claims that her fiancé, Steve Wood (James Marsden) also recently died but wasn't entirely the truth. Judy and Steve were in the car that killed Ted and the former got close to Jen to make amends.

The follow-up season of Dead to Me focuses on Jen and Judy as they try to get past their life-changing mistakes. Jen ended up killing Steve which she claimed was self-defense, but that wasn't the whole story. Jen and Judy hit a few more bumps in the road when it comes to their bond but they also both realize that they have to come to terms with the past in order to move forward. Of course, nothing goes as planned for Jen and Judy as the two are forced into a new mess by the end of season 2. But what does that mean for the future of Dead to Me on Netflix?

Netflix's Plans For Dead To Me Season 3 Hasn't Been Announced (Yet)

Dead To Me

At the time of Dead to Me's season 2 release, there's no word if the series has been renewed for a third installment. It's common for Netflix to wait a few weeks to announces plans for renewal. If Dead to Me reaches the same type of acclaim that season 1 received, there's no question that the streaming service will give the series another installment. Last year, the renewal was given a month after the show's release so viewers should keep an eye out in June for any updates on Dead to Me season 3.

Jen And Judy

Dead to Me season 2 followed in line with the series' first installment by debuting in the first week of May. Netflix would most likely keep that same schedule to keep it as a spring season release. Though the cast and crew might aim for a May 2021 release, the current coronavirus shutdowns may push back dates when it comes to filming. In that case, a more plausible time span could be the summer months or even early fall for season 3.

Warning! Includes SPOILERS for Dead to Me season 2.

There's no doubt that Dead to Me left the door open for a season 3. It didn't end with a deceased man in Jen's pool like last time, but there are plenty of loose ends that the series could dive into. If the show is renewed, the story would focus on the events following the big car crash that ended Dead to Me season 2. After Jen was cleared by the detective on Steve's case, she and Judy felt like they were given a second chance. The two were driving home in a new car purchased for Jen's older son Charlie when their car is T-boned at an intersection. The man driving happened to be Ben, who was driving drunk after learning that his brother's dead body had been found. Rather than help Jen and Judy, Ben fled from the scene. Not only are the two women involved in another mess, but the unearthing of Steve's body could throw them back into trouble with the police.
