Not Dead Yet was quickly becoming one of ABC’s most popular new sitcoms, but the network pulled the plug before it could be renewed for season 3. Based on the book Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up by Alexandra Potter, the series follows Nell Serrano, a journalist who works as an obituary writer for a local paper. Despite believing it’s a dead-end job, Nell begins seeing the ghosts of those she’s eulogizing and learns important life lessons from the dearly departed that only she can see or hear.
