Netflix orders Will Ferrell and Liz Feldman’s dark comedy series Dead To Me

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

With his upcoming films ZEROVILLE and HOMES AND WATSON now in post-production, it's been announced that Will Ferrell will partner with NBC's ONE BIG HAPPY creator Liz Feldman for a new dark comedy series on Netflix entitled DEAD TO ME. The show, which the streaming giant has given a straight-to-series order, will play out over the course of 10 half-hour long episodes. The show will look to define a powerful friendship that blossoms between a tightly wound widow and a free spirit with a shocking secret.

Liz Feldman, who in the past has served as a writer on 2 BROKE GIRLS and THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW, will pen the script for DEAD TO ME in addition to acting as an executive producer, showrunner, and co-star of the new comedy. Producing the series will be Gloria Sanchez Productions, the sister studio to Gary Sanchez Productions that focuses on female-centric content. Will Ferrell, Adam MacKay and Jessica Elbaum will also executive produce alongside Feldman.

Ferrell's last series gig was for the Patrick Brammall and Trent O'Donnell half-hour comedy NO ACTIVITY, in which Ferrell starred as Adrian, in a show that follows two low-level cops who have spent far too much time in a car together; two criminals who are largely kept in the dark; two dispatch workers who haven't really clicked; and two Mexican tunnelers who are in way too small a space considering they've only just met.
