Update: Bob Greenblatt it turns out is pushing Fuller and his remake forward. Greenblatt is now the new head of NBC Entertainment, but when he took over at Showtime was the guy who decided not to go forward with a third season of ‘Dead Like Me’. Of course, by that time Fuller had been pushed out as showrunner of his creation DLM back in the first season by Greenblatt’s predecessor at Showtime and management at MGM. There were rumors that during the intense three days of whether to renew discussion/negotiations for DLM Fuller called Greenblatt to express his opinion. What words were said only the two of them really know, and what effect that call had on Greenblatt’s decision not to go forward with the third season only Greenblatt really knows. So nice to see the two of them getting together again.
