Drop Dead Diva: New Lifetime Summer Series
Lifetime has a brand-new show coming up this summer called Drop Dead Diva, which is currently scheduled to premiere on Sunday, July 12, at 9pm ET, immediately before the network’s smash hit Army Wives.
An hourlong dramedy, the series focuses on beautiful, vapid wannabe model Deb (Brooke D’Orsay). After she dies in a car accident, Deb suddenly finds herself in front of Heaven’s gatekeeper Fred, who’s convinced she’s nothing more than a self-centered “zero.”
Deb protests, of course, and then tries to persuade Fred to return her to her shallow existence. Something goes wrong, however, and Deb winds up in the body of recently deceased Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott) instead, who just happens to be brilliant, thoughtful, and — Oh, no! — plus-sized.
An attorney with a loyal assistant (Margaret Cho), Jane is used to her more conventionally pretty colleagues getting all of the attention. Deb, on the other hand, has always relied on her external beauty.
So, what happens when the aspiring model is forced to come to terms with inhabiting Jane’s plus-size frame? Drop Dead Diva aims to show viewers exactly that, and I’m looking forward to the ride.
If you are, too, continue below to sneak an advance, quickie promo peek at the series.
Drop Dead Diva is executive produced by creator Josh Berman (Bones, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), in addition to Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Oscar–winning Chicago and Hairspray).
