James Marsden and Ed Asner are joining Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini on Netflix’s upcoming comedy, “Dead to Me.”
Penned by showrunner Liz Feldman, “Dead to Me” hails from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Gloria Sanchez Prods. and CBS TV Studios. The series was handed a 10-episode series order by Netflix.
“Dead to Me” is described as a comedic “Big Little Lies,” centering around a powerful friendship that blossoms between Jen (Applegate), a tightly wound widow, and Judy (Cardellini), a free spirit with a shocking secret.
Marsden, who stars on HBO’s “Westworld,” will play a love interest to Judy, who seems confident and logical, but beyond that facade is a vulnerable man with a complicated past who is drawn to Judy’s big heart and free spirit.
