Dead Like Me fans rejoice! The canceled-too-soon Showtime series about grim reapers may return from the dead in a made-for-DVD movie. SyFy Portal reports that a Dead Like Me film is in the works.
Dead Like Me aired for two seasons on Showtime in 2003 and 2004. The series starred Ellen Muth, Mandy Patinkin, Jasmin Guy and Callum Blue, just to name four of the stars who appeared in the series' 29 episodes.
The Dead Like Me movie will be directed by Stephen Herek, the man behind The Mighty Ducks and Mr. Holland's Opus. It is unknown at this point if the cast will be back for this made-for-DVD movie especially since some of them are part of TV series. No details about the movie plot have been released either.
Both seasons of Dead Like Me are available on DVD. The show also reruns on various networks.
