Dead Like Me: Life After Death (2009)
Cast from the show
Have not seen it yet, but I do know the following:
Cast from the movie (see below)
Rube has been replaced by another guy playing the head Reaper. Cr*pola. Manny P. was one of the best things about this great ensemble cast.
The lovely Laura Harris who played Daisy is gone, replaced by
24's Kate Wynter.
Callum Blue is back, as is a sort of 'different' looking Ellen Muth (George). the buzz varies but there's some kind of anorexia buzz.
Synopsis: (CAUTION: Some Spoilers)

Dead Like Me Synopsis:
When George and her colleagues get a new boss whose focus is on moving souls quickly and enjoying life without consequences, the team begins to break
the strict reaper rules. While her friends fall victim to their desires for money, success, and fame, George breaks another rule by revealing her true
identity to her living family. As the reapers struggle with their roles on Earth, they each find that death can be just as complicated as life.
George and Reggie re-connect for the first time when George reaps a new friend of Reggie's.
Reggie (then)
Reggie (now)
The new 'Rube' (Henry Ian Cusick (
Lost) ...Cameron Kane):
The new 'Daisy Adair':
Comments:
Before you get too worked up, bear in mind that some people -hated- this version, complaining it ripped the heart out of all that was established with
the series.
The original creator actually quit after a few episodes saying that the network battled with him over several important concepts.
The Director (Stephen Herek) is more of a 'Disney movie' guy, but he did do
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) and
Critters (1986) .
The Writers: Stephen Godchaux worked on
Spin City; John Masius (
L.A. Law)
So, I'll be back after I watch it with a followup.
