Hulu Renews ‘Deadbeat’ for Third Season

Hulu’s “Deadbeat” will live for another season, the streaming service announced on Tuesday.

The series produced by Brad Pitt‘s Plan B Entertainment and Lionsgate Television has been renewed for a third campaign with a 13-episode order.

The half-hour comedy stars Tyler Labine (“Tucker & Dale vs. Evil”) as Kevin Pacalioglu, a hapless but gifted medium who will go to any lengths to help New York’s ghosts settle their unfinished business. Brandon T. Jackson (“Tropic Thunder”) plays his savvy best friend, Roofie, while Cat Deeley (“So You Think You Can Dance”) stars as a glamorous celebrity medium rival.
