James Marsden and Ed Asner (from 'Up' and 'Elf') joined the new Netflix series 'Dead to Me,' alongside Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate (from 'Friends' and 'Bad Moms'). Liz Feldman (from '2 Broke Girls' and 'Happy Endings') wrote the script, with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's company co-producing with CBS TV. The show consists of 10 episodes and is described as a comedic version of 'Big Little Lies,' focusing on the strong friendship between widow Jen (Applegate) and free-spirited Judy (Cardellini), who harbors incredible secrets. Marsden plays Judy's love interest, a seemingly confident and logical man who is, in fact, a fragile character with a complex past, drawn to Judy's open heart and free spirit. Asner plays Abe, who lives in a facility where Judy works; he is sharper and more astute than most, and shares a sweet relationship with Judy, often relying on each other to navigate life's ups and downs.
