Since May 8, the long-awaited season 2 of Dead to me is available on Netflix. An explosive and darker return for Jen and Judy, as described by our critic. If these new episodes always bring us lightness, humor and suspense, we must admit that we also knew how to surprise us, and this, from the first minutes of the show! Attention, if you have not seen the start of season 2 of Dead to me, you risk being spoiled. Huge twist at the end of the first episode, Steve finds himself face to face with Jen and Judy. Well at least, that’s what Jen believed for a few seconds, before the victim’s certified copy appeared as her twin. “Hello, I’m Ben, Steve’s twin brother, and I haven’t heard from him”he says. Oops. How did the designer get the idea for this huge twist?
Interviewed by TVLine, Liz Feldman revealed what motivated her to continue her collaboration with James Marsden, the interpreter of Ben (and Steve) : “Following the launch of season 1 last year, James sent me a cute email telling me that it was great working together. And at the end of his email he said, ‘I don’t know if someone can survive a head trauma and drowning, but if possible i’m downright ready. ‘I turned off my computer and started pacing around at home, thinking it would be crazy not to try to find a way to work with James again. I didn’t want to bring Steve back from the dead because it would have been crazy and I didn’t want to diminish the power of the season 1 finale. , obviously, the idea of inserting his twin was the first thing that came to my mind! “.
Before integrating this intrigue definitively within the scenario, the showrunneuse had to ask for the agreement of CBS, Netflix and of course the principal concerned. If Ben’s introduction may have seemed wacky, that was the expected goal. Humor is totally what sums up Dead to me. As for James Marsden, he was delighted to continue the adventure: “He said yes immediately. It was important to him that the character was a completely different person, allowing him to work differently as an actor. It was a big challenge to create this new person who could help lead the “History. He also had to show that he was going through a difficult period: he lost his brother”. We can’t say that the official trailer for Dead to me did not give clues!
