Netflix's Dead to Me will live on to Season 2.

The addictive dark comedy starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini has been renewed for a second season, Deadline reports.

The return of 2 Broke Girls writer and executive producer Liz Feldman's twist-filled series was announced on Monday, although a premiere date is yet to be revealed.

The series' first season follows Jen (Applegate) who scrambles to solve her husband's hit-and-run murder. In the meantime, she befriends Judy (Cardellini), who's dealing with her own loss.

But guys, there's a big secret afoot, all leading to that crazy Season 1 finale.

Feldman will reportedly return as showrunner and executive producer for Season 2, and it appears Applegate and Cardellini will return too.
