ABC bought out the pilot for Not Dead Yet, and it’s touted to be a comedy sitcom starring Gina Rodriguez. Well, the second episode dropped and some people don’t think it’s funny at all. However, the ratings reportedly saw it rushing upward. In fact, ABC execs must be rubbing their hand with glee.

ABC – Not Dead Yet Rockets Up The Ratings
A statement by ABC said that the show is now “ABC’s Most-Watched Multiplatform Comedy Debut in Nearly 4 Years.” Additionally, the info noted that the show got “7.6 million Total Viewers and 1.76 rating in AD18-49 in MP+7.” The last time that those sort of numbers happened on the platform came when Bless This Mess arrived in 2019.
Not Dead Yet still has two more episodes to air at this time. If you haven’t seen it, the synopsis explains that Nell Serrano, played by Gina Rodriguez, moved to the UK. There, the rather “accident-prone” newspaper reporter ended a relationship and decided to go back home. As she hadn’t worked for some years, she found a job that mainly meant “writing obituaries.” Anyway, the dead folks that she writes about started communicating with her and sometimes assist her in writing their own obituaries.

Not Dead Yet can be viewed on ABC, Prime Video, Vudu, and Apple TV. Apparently, it’s also available on Hulu. Notably, ABC’s subscription includes season 1.
Folks who watched the first teaser for the show liked what they saw on YouTube. However, rather sarcastically, one person opined, “Well this show will be dead after one season.” Judging by the ratings which soared, that prediction might not come true.
