Gina Rodriguez is returning to the small display screen and making mates with ghosts. The “Jane the Virgin” breakout is enjoying one other character going via some critical drama in “Not Dead Yet,” an upcoming ABC comedy from “This Is Us” alumni Casey Johnson and David Windsor. A newly launched trailer introduces us to Nell (Rodriguez), a journalist who “threw away a promising career to move to London for a man,” as she explains it.
Nell finally returns stateside broke and single. The solely job she will be able to discover is writing obituaries. “I thought that I would just come back home and pick back up where I left off but everything’s changed and I feel really disconnected from everyone,” she admits. A self-described catastrophe, Nell’s life will get even messier when she begins seeing lifeless folks.
“Someone Great” and “Annihilation” are amongst Rodriguez’s movie credit.
“Not Dead Yet” premieres February 8. “New Girl’s” Hannah Simone co-stars.
