'Dead To Me': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and everything else you need to know about Netflix's upcoming series
Do you remember the uptight Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate) from 'Bad Moms'? Well, Christina is coming back in a new avatar as Jen in the upcoming summer series on Netflix - 'Dead to Me'. The trailer, which was released recently, is packed with theatrical actions and perfect comic timing. But this is not going to be a one-man show; Linda Cardellini aka Judy will be Jen's partner in crime with a murky past. The official trailer leaves a lot to the imagination with a subtle assurance that it is not going to be the usual run of the mill hilarious web-series. So we did some digging and here's what you need to know about the upcoming show:

Linda Cardellini will also be seen in the lead role as Judy. Linda was last seen the Oscar-winning movie 'The Green Book' as a doting wife.
Creator
Liz Feldman is not new to the viewers. She has carefully crafted her work to cater to the needs of the time. Feldman is known for TV series '2 Broke Girls', 'The Ellen Degeneres Show', 'One Big Happy' and more. However, this time Feldman has given a tiny twist to her comic timing a generous dose of suspense and thrill.
The official trailer which is already out has a sinister subsoil which goes beyond the obvious dark comedy and introduces 'Dead To Me' as an off-the-rack comedy. See the trailer here.
