Christina Applegate will star and executive produce in Netflix’s dark comedy “Dead to Me” from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.
“Dead to Me” is a dark comedy about a powerful friendship that blossoms between a tightly wound widow and a free spirit with a shocking secret.
Applegate will play Jen, a poised and put together woman with a dark sense of humor and an anger problem that she doesn’t necessarily want to deal with. Jen has been struggling to keep it together in the months since her husband was killed in a hit and run.
The series reunites Applegate with her “Anchorman” co-star Ferrell and McKay, who directed the film and its sequel, “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.”
