Not Dead Yet premieres February 8 and follows Nell, performed by Gina Rodriguez, who tries to restart her life with a brand new job and a brand new roommate. She begins writing obituaries on the native paper and unexpectedly begins getting life recommendation from the themes of her obits. In this EXCLUSIVE preview of the premiere, Nell doesn’t precisely have the most effective birthday outing.
“Well, I hope it’s not too weird that I crashed your birthday,” Lauren Ash’s Lexi tells Nell. Nell tries to play it off. “No, not at all. We’re co-workers,” she says.
Lexi can’t resist including, “Well, not exactly co… kidding.” Everyone on the desk laughs. Lexi follows up with, “Although, technically, that is accurate. I mean, I am your boss. But I just want you to know that I am going to strive to be a different kind of boss than my father was. I mean, he was just so aloof and out of touch. If I learned anything after I broke my back during the Olympic dressage trials, it’s that you are only as strong as the horse you’re riding.”
She turns to Nell and says, “And you… you are my horse.” That’s when Sam, performed by New Girl alum Hannah Simone, chimes in so Lexi stops. “Am I being weird and entitled again?” Lexi asks. Sam lets Lexi know the reality. “See, this is why I need you,” Lexi says as Nell knocks again a shot.
The official synopsis for the premiere reads: “Nell attempts to restart her life in a new place with a new job and a new roommate. She begins writing obituaries at the local paper and starts getting life advice from an unlikely source.”
