The show was created by Bryan Fuller for the Showtime network. Fuller left early due to creative differences; he went on to co-create Wonderfalls and create Pushing Daisies. Creative direction of Dead Like Me was taken over by executive producer John Masius. The series was inspired by the Piers Anthony novel On A Pale Horse.

Eighteen-year-old Georgia "George" Lass (played by Muth) is the show's protagonist and narrator. George dies early in the pilot episode, leaving her mother (Cynthia Stevenson) and rest of her family behind at a point when her relationships with them were on shaky ground. She is tapped to become one of the "undead", a grim reaper. She soon learns that a reaper's job is to remove the souls of people, preferably right before they die, and escort them until they move on into their afterlife. The show explores the "lives" and experiences of a small team of such reapers � a team led by Rube (played by Patinkin) � as well as the post-mortem changes in George and George's family as they deal with George's death.

As of early 2008, a straight-to-dvd movie is in the works, continuing the story of George and her fellow reapers.
