EXCLUSIVE: Superstore alumna Lauren Ash is joining another single-camera broadcast workplace comedy as a series regular: she has been cast as a lead opposite Gina Rodriguez on ABC’s Not Dead Yet.Written by Casey Johnson and David Windsor based on Alexandra Potter’s 2020 book Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up, Not Dead Yet centers on newly single and feeling-old Nell Serrano (Rodriguez), a self-described disaster who works to restart the life and career she left behind 10 years ago.
A once-successful journalist, Nell put her career on hold to help her fiancé get his restaurant off the ground. Following their breakup, she takes the only job she can get – writing obituaries – which at first seems like a step backward but ultimately might be exactly what she needs to move forward.Ash will play a new character, Lexi, the daughter of a wealthy newspaper owner and recently appointed editor.
Lexi was raised in a rarefied world of boarding schools and private planes and is comedically out of touch with how normal people live.
A former almost-Olympian horse jumper, Lexi exudes extreme confidence. But the truth is she’s in way over her head and if the newspaper fails, she’ll never win her father’s approval – something she desperately wants.The addition of Ash and fellow new series regular Hannah Simone, who plays the editor of the Life & Style section of the newspaper, is part of the post-pilot retooling of Not Dead Yet, which now is leaning more heavily into the workplace.
