Christina Applegate has opened up about returning to finish the third and final season of her Netflix black comedy Dead to Me after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
The condition, also known as Ms, can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance.
Dead to Me stars Applegate and Linda Cardellini as two grieving women who bond during therapy.
In a new interview, the actor, 50, talked about how production on the new season paused for five months hiatus following her diagnosis, which she announced in August 2021.
“This is the first time anyone’s going to see me the way I am,” she told The New York Times. “I put on 40 pounds. I can’t walk without a cane. I want people to know that I am very aware of all of that.”
