It wasn’t so long ago that Gina Rodriguez was the talk of Tinseltown for her breakout role as Jane Villanueva in Jane the Virgin. Now she is returning to primetime to spearhead the comedy series Not Dead Yet.
The new sitcom follows the story of Nell Serrano (Gina Rodriguez), a journalist trying to regain control of her career. Unfortunately for her, she finds that the task may be harder than she anticipated, especially since her new editor-in-chief assigned her to cover the not-so-lively world of obituaries.
So just what else can would-be viewers expect from this new show? Here’s everything we know about Not Dead Yet.
