Drop Dead Diva, created by Josh Berman, is
an American legal comedy-drama/fantasy television series. The hour-long series, produced by Sony Pictures Television and staring Brooke Elliott as Jane, a plus size woman whose body is inhabited by the soul of a fashion model. The plot evolves around vapid
blonde and aspiring model, Deborah (Deb) Dobkins (played by Brooke D'Orsay in
the pilot and in flashbacks), who is killed in a car crash. As her soul enters
the gates of Heaven, she finds herself declared a "zero-zero"
(meaning she has performed zero good deeds and zero bad deeds during her time
on earth; she is simply shallow) by the gatekeeper, Fred. After not liking what
she hears, she presses for a return to her former body, hoping to get back to
Earth. Deb gets her wish (by willfully pressing a computer key she should not
have), only to be brought back to life in the body of a recently deceased,
brilliant, hardworking, overweight lawyer named Jane Bingum. Initially
horrified, Deb – in her new
human form –discovers the
meaning of inner beauty as she finds the ability to juggle legal cases, aided
by her assistant Teri, while attempting to reconnect incognito with her
still-grieving boyfriend, Grayson Kent, who just started working at Jane's law
firm. At the same time, Deb begins to rediscover her past while learning more about her inherited body's current life, and how Jane was treated when she was alive. In addition to Fred (who was demoted to guardian angel and has been assigned to watch over her at the law firm), only Deb's long-time mortal friend Stacy knows Jane's true identity. The fourth season of the show was renewed on September 22nd, 2011.
