‘Dead To Me’ Season 2 Drops On Netflix This Friday

*This article contains spoilers from Netflix's Dead To Me season 1*

PSA: Dead To Me season 2 drops on Friday 8th May, and it looks like its going to be *so* good.

The first instalment of the Liz Feldman penned Netflix show had us all on the edge of our seats last year.

And now it's back with more twists and turns than ever, as Judy (Linda Cardellini) and Jen (Christina Applegate) put their differences aside to protect themselves from the wrath of the law.

If you need a reminder, the last series ended with the pair standing over the swimming pool, where Steve (James Marsden) had seemingly been shot.

And while Judy's ex was fictionally dead for much of season one, it looks as if he is now very much deceased IRL, with next series focusing around how the two women get rid of his body and hide any evidence of his murder.

The trailer begins with Steve floating upside down in a pool, and both women staring down at him.

"We'll have to call the police," Judy says.

"How's it going to look if I go to the cops, Steve killed my husband. My boys can't lose me," Judy protests. "No one can ever know what happened."

The second season is set to follow July and Jen as they cover their tracks, with detectives hot on their tail.

And it's not just detectives they have to worry about, as an anonymous individual is also taunting them, and seems to know the truth.

When the cast were out filming the second series of Dead To Me, fans went wild after spotting James Marsden back on set.

Many thought his character Steve may still be alive, but after the latest trailer it seems safe to assume he was simply filming flashback scenes, or taunting one or both of the women in their heads.

Also reprising their roles are Max Jenkins as Jen's real estate partner Christoper, Luke Roessler as Jen's younger son Henry, Sam McCarthy as Jen's eldest son, Brandon Scott as police officer Nick and Ed Asner as Abe.

Season 1 saw Jen and Judy forge an unlikely friendship despite their different approaches to grief. However, Judy harboured a dark secret: she was involved in the death of Jen's husband, and her own partner, Steve, wasn't really dead.

Naturally, the pair's friendship looked like it was beyond repair when Jen found out the truth about Judy's involvement in her husband's death.

But the latest season shows them back together once more, whether they like it or not.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the show's writer Liz Feldman said: "What I wanted to do was create a situation where they're forced together, and they need each other now in some ways more than they did at the beginning of season 1."

And in another interview with Hollywood Reporter, she added: "This show will always be a show that explores the dark sides and the light sides of grief, loss, forgiveness and friendship.

"So suffice to say, there will be more darkness."

Dead To Me 2 hits Netflix next Friday, May 8th.
