Services to share this page.
After two seasons,ABC has canceled theGina Rodriguez-led and executive-produced comedy seriesNot Dead Yet.
Written by Casey Johnson and David Windsor,Not Dead Yet centers on newly single and feeling-old Nell Serrano (Rodriguez), a self-described disaster who works to restart the life and career she left behind 10 years ago. A once-successful journalist, Nell put her career on hold to help her fiancé get his restaurant off the ground. Following their breakup, she takes the only job she can get – writing obituaries – which at first seems like a step backward but ultimately might be exactly what she needs to move forward.

When the show premiered in early 2023,it was ABC’s most-watched comedy debut in more than 4 years. However, the ratings didn’t stick in Season 2. Deadline’s Editor-in-Chief of TV Nellie Andreeva wrote of the show last month, “The single-camera Not Dead Yet is heavily on the bubble. Its ratings have been soft, making for some bleak prospects, though the series starring Gina Rodriguez is said to have its supporters internally and could potentially find a spot next season based on ABC’s scheduling needs.”

Someone needs to pick this show up. It was too good to cancel. All star cast with great diversity / representation. Obsessed with Gina Rodriguez and Rick Glassman. I really want a season 3. This was my go-to comfort show.

What a bummer. I loved watching this Gina Rodrigues led series and the casting was so incredible.

It’s hard to make a successful show. And making subtle comments that fit into the topic really isn’t trolling.

They screwed up with Season 2 it got muddled with the introduction of Lexis Dad. They should have focused more on Nell and Cricket like the book did!! Water opportunities 😩
