Not Dead Yet Video: Gina Rodriguez Meets Her First Ghost in ABC Comedy
Gina Rodriguez is getting a visitor from the other side.
The Jane the Virgin vet stars in ABC‘s new comedy Not Dead Yet — premiering this Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 8:30/7:30c — as Nell Serrano, a journalist who moves back to the States from London after a broken engagement. Nell gets a job at the local newspaper where she used to work, but rather than picking up where she left off, Nell is assigned to the lowly obituary beat. And the gig comes with an unexpected and not entirely welcome perk: the people Nell is writing about appear to her as ghosts!
In TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek, Nell is greeted by her first spirit, Monty (played by guest star Martin Mull), the creator of a famous bubble gum jingle.
“Are you here to kill me?” a terrified Nell asks, before moving on to the denial stage: “No, I do not see dead people…This has just gotta be the chili cheese fries and the cake and the five cocktails and maybe the half gummy I ate.”
“Go easy there, Keith Richards,” Monty replies.
Adapted by David Windsor and Casey Johnson (The Real O’Neals) from Alexandra Potter’s book Confessions of a 40-something F**k Up, Not Dead Yet also stars Hannah Simone (New Girl), Lauren Ash (Superstore), Rick Glassman (As We See It), Josh Banday (Upload) and Angela Gibbs (On My Block, Black Jesus).

Feb not Jan😁
So I guess ghosts are not officially a thing with Ghosts, this show and a new series on Netflix.
As someone who saw the original 13 ghosts ( 3d glasses included,) it would be interesting if someone planned on a reboot of that movie via a series.
Oops, now not “not” a thing :)
They already remade it years ago and it was dreadful. Some things should just stay in the past.
Well the best thing to say: It’s on ABC, so the bar is pretty low. Just beat the CW.
The Sixth Sense the Musical coming soon to your tv.
Of the pilots that got picked up last cycle, this was my#1 show I was looking forward to. (So Help Me Todd was #2) So I have high hopes for this!
Excited to see Lauren Ash in a new role!
As long as they’re going to try to rip-off Ghosts, where’s my remake of “Jennifer Slept Here,” dammit?
“Ghosts” by any other name. How original, ABC. At least CBS’ show is the descendant of the original.
