'Drop Dead Diva' Season 5 returns June 23 on Lifetime
2 May 2013 5:04 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Drop Dead Diva" survived its own brush with TV death earlier this year and now Lifetime has officially set the Season 5 premiere for Sunday, June 23 at 9 p.m.
That's right before the launch of the network's new series "Devious Maids" from "Desperate Housewives" executive producer Marc Cherry, and the same night the network's "The Client List" was expected to air its Season 2 finale (there's no official word yet if the Jennifer Love Hewitt series will wrap a week earlier or simply in a different timeslot).
As recently as February it looked as though "Diva" wouldn't be back, at least on Lifetime, after word leaked in January that the network had canceled the show. But a passionate outpouring from fans and some financial wheeling and dealing between the network and studio Sony Pictures TV led to a revival.
The "Diva" Season 5 premiere is titled "Back From the Dead" and picks up »

'Drop Dead Diva' Season 5 back on: Lifetime reverses cancellation decision
1 March 2013 4:16 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Good news for fans of Lifetime's underrated comedy "Drop Dead Diva" -- though the network canceled it earlier this year, they have changed their minds and reversed the decision. "Drop Dead Diva" will return for Season 5.
While the studio and the network were initially unable to negotiate cost cutting for the fifth season, they have finally reached an agreement.
The series follows an aspiring model, Deb, who dies and is reincarnated as plus-size lawyer Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott). The Season 4 finale, which also hit a ratings high with 2.76 million viewers, ended on a major cliffhanger -- Jane's original soul came back to life in her husband Owen's (Lex Medlin) body.
Congrats, "Drop Dead Diva" fans!

Drop Dead Diva: Lifetime Series Cancelled; No Season Five?
16 January 2013 1:13 AM, PST | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
Lifetime has decided to cancel Drop Dead Diva after four seasons on the air.
Debuting in July 2009, Drop Dead Diva begins as a vapid aspiring model named Deb is killed in a car accident. Unhappy with her prospects in heaven, she finds herself sent back to Earth and ends up in the body of a recently deceased lawyer, Jane (Brooke Elliott). Deb must now deal with being in the body of her complete opposite --someone who's brilliant, hard-working, charitable, and overweight.
Others in the cast have included Margaret Cho, April Bowlby, Kate Levering, Jackson Hurst, Josh Stamberg, Ben Feldman, Lex Medlin, and Carter MacIntyre.
The fourth season finished airing on September 9th and averaged 2.3 million viewers with a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was slighly better than the performance of the third season -- 2.26 million »

'Drop Dead Diva' cancelled by Lifetime, could Season 5 find another home?
15 January 2013 6:25 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
After four seasons on Lifetime, "Drop Dead Diva" is coming to an end. Unless producer Sony Pictures TV can find another home for the legal comedy.
Deadline broke the news and points out that "Diva" consistently drew over 2 million viewers per episode -- a solid number for basic cable. Speculation about the cancellation centers around Lifetime wanting to move in a new, edgier creative direction.
Season 4 wrapped back in September and Lifetime delayed a decision on moving forward with Season 5 until they could evaluate their new pilots.
"Diva" fans are likely to be especially upset given the way Season 4 ended: Jane (Brooke Elliott) shared a kiss with Grayson (Jackson Hurst) the same day she was supposed to marry Owen (Lex Medlin), who promptly suffered a heart attack.
What do you think "Diva" fans, should another network rescue the show? Should Lifetime "Drop Dead" over this decision? »
