At the end of ‘Drop Dead Diva’ Season 2, an engaged Grayson was left badly beat up after an accident, and a distraught Jane was by his side, wondering if he really saw her as Deb or was just hallucinating before slipping into a coma.
Drama, right? The clever, quirky show doesn’t keep things serious for too long though, returning with a big hospital song-and-dance number to ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ in the premiere.
That balance of heart-wrenching and laugh-inducing is exactly why fans can’t wait for more. With Season 3 premiering (Sun., June 19, 9PM ET on Lifetime), AOL TV visited the show’s set in Peachtree City, Georgia, to get the scoop on what’s next.
Stars Brooke Elliott, Jackson Hurst, April Bowlby, Ben Feldman, Margaret Cho, Kate Levering and Josh Stamberg dished about this romantic season and where all of their relationships stand, including the tease that Jane and Grayson will end up in bed together.
“It’s really happening,” Hurst confirms. “That is not a dream sequence,” Elliott chimes in. “That actually happens.”
They also talked about guest stars. As if their impressive list of stars coming to play isn’t enough (already set for this season: LeAnn Rimes, Wendy Williams, Mario Lopez, Tony Goldwyn, Jennifer Tilly, Clay Aiken, Lance Bass and recurring guest Paula Abdul, just to name a few), they all have a wish list of who they’d still love to come play ‘Diva,’ including Beyonce, Jack Nicholson, Carol Burnett, Bette Midler, Kate Winslet, Cher …
“I mean, really, I could kind of go on and on and on,” Elliott says with a laugh.
Here’s hoping this delightful show will be around long enough to get that long list checked off.
So what do you say: Are you excited for more ‘Drop Dead Diva’? And do you think Jane should tell Grayson? Sound off in the comments.
