The prematurely cancelled cult favorite Showtime series Dead Like Me—about a group of grim reapers trying to hold down ordinary lives among the living—is returning as a straight-to-DVD movie to be directed by Stephen Herek (Rock Star, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure). No word yet on whether or not the original cast will reunite for the film, though we wish them good luck in getting Mandy Patinkin. (Thanks to Whitney Matheson over at the Pop Candy blog for picking up on this story.)
