Some performances are so captivating that viewers can’t wait for the next one. One such American TV comedy series has followed suit on ABC, and its creators are David Windsor and Casey Johnson. Sure enough, the first season of the acclaimed ABC drama “Not Dead Yet” has just finished up to the same degree of acclaim among ABC’s dedicated viewership throughout the world.
In its final 13 episodes before its cancellation on May 3, 2023, the show managed to convey its central message in such interesting ways that the story of Nell Serrano, a journalist whose wedding plans fell through and resulted in her moving back to Los Angeles from London, became relatable in some ways. The show’s makers and viewers have been taken aback by the series’ unexpectedly large effect and enthusiastic response, especially given that it only ran for a single season.
Not Dead Yet Season 2
There were only roughly 7.6 million people who watched the inaugural episode of Not Dead Yet across linear and digital platforms in the week following its launch. In fact, it was one of ABC’s highest-rated comedic premieres in nearly four years. Given the positive reception, viewers are probably wondering if the show will be picked up for a second season. You’ve come to the right site if you’ve been wondering the same thing. Here are the most recent developments concerning the second season of “Not Dead Yet” and whether or not it will be renewed.
