On January 12, 2023, ABC dropped the official trailer for Not Dead Yet, which offers a peek into the life of protagonist Nell Serrano and the numerous pivotal events set to unfold in her life as she restarts her career and decides to change her life.

The trailer opens up on an intriguing note, as Nell says:

''After 15 years as a journalist, I've learned it's important to grab the reader's attention with a catchy headline. 'Local woman ruins own life.' Five years ago, Nell Serrano threw away a promising career to move to London for a man.''

She further states:

''Now she's back and the weird roommate she met on Craigslist is not passive-aggressive at all.''

The trailer does not reveal any major spoilers but clearly establishes the tone of the series.

Along with the trailer, ABC also shared the official description of the series on their YouTube channel:

''From creators David Windsor and Casey Johnson (“This Is Us,” “The Real O’Neals”) and starring Gina Rodriguez, “Not Dead Yet” follows Nell Serrano (Rodriguez), a broke and newly single self-described disaster, working to restart the life and career she left behind five years ago.''

The synopsis continues:

''When she lands the only job she can find – writing obituaries – Nell starts getting life advice from an unlikely source. The series is adapted from the book “Confessions of a 40-something F**k Up” by Alexandra Potter.''

The show will premiere with two episodes, following which it is expected to follow the standard weekly-release format.
