AwesomenessTV is about to test the limits of the old adage that "love never dies" as the media company finalized casting and began production on their new scripted series My Dead Ex for Verizon's go90 video streaming service.

My Dead Ex puts a very unique spin on the whole "will they/won't they" romantic storyline: sure, Charley (Katherine Hughes, Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl) is living the life of a typical teenager: school, family and a not-so-secret admirer named Ben (Ryan Lee, Goosebumps). Except this is the part where things get a little "unique" because Ben is kinda', sorta' dead. As in, no longer living. Will Charley and Ben let a little thing like cold skin and the lack of a pulse come between them? They need to decide, because there might be forces at play who would be more than happy to make that decision for them.
