Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez leads the cast of ABC’s new half-hour comedy Not Dead Yet. Created by David Windsor and Casey Johnson (This is Us, The Real O’Neals), the new comedy debuts on February 8, 2023 at 8:30pm ET/PT and finds Rodriguez playing an obituary writer who sees ghosts.
In addition to Gina Rodriguez as Nell Serrano, the season one cast includes Hannah Simone (New Girl) as Sam, Lauren Ash (Superstore) as Lexi, Rick Glassman (As We See It) as Edward, Josh Banday (Upload) as Dennis, and Angela Gibbs (Hacks) as Cricket. Martin Mull, Ed Begley Jr., Mo Collins, Telma Hopkins, Rhea Perlman, Brittany Snow, and Julia Sweeney are among the guest stars showing up as ghosts.
The series is adapted from Alexandra Potter’s 2020 novel Confessions of a 40-something F**k Up. Rodriguez, Windsor, Johnson, and Wonderland Sound and Vision’s McG, Mary Viola, and Corey Marsh serve as executive producers.
“Pilot” Plot: Not Dead Yet follows Nell Serrano (Rodriguez), a broke and newly single self-described disaster, working to restart the life and career she left behind five years ago. When she lands the only job she can find – writing obituaries – Nell starts getting life advice from an unlikely source.
