ABC has picked up “Not Dead Yet,” a new comedy starring “Jane the Virgin” alum Gina Rodriguez.

The network also picked up the drama “Alaska,” starring Hilary Swank, and “The Rookie” spinoff “The Rookie: Feds,” starring Niecy Nash-Betts, for the 2022-23 television season.

In “Not Dead Yet,” Rodriguez plays Nell Stevens, a broke and newly single self-described disaster, working to restart the life and career she left behind 10 years ago. When she lands the only job she can find – writing obituaries – Nell starts getting life advice from an unlikely source. 

The series, from creators and executive producers David Windsor and Casey Johnson, is adapted from the book “Confessions of a 40-something F**k Up” by Alexandra Potter.
