Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant are coming together to star in a new Netflix comedy series titled SANTA CLARITA DIET.

“In the single-camera series, Joel (Timothy Olyphant, JUSTIFIED) and Sheila (Drew Barrymore, BLENDED) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita, until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending both their lives down a road of death and destruction…but in a good way.”

“The genius casting of Timothy and Drew combined with Victor’s unique comedic sensibility will delight, and definitely surprise, our members around the world,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix vice president of original content.

SANTA CLARITA DIET will launch worldwide in 2017.

Netflix has ordered another season of SANTA CLARITA DIET, the darkly comedic series starring Drew Barrymore as Sheila Hammond, Timothy Olyphant as Joel Hammond, Liv Hewson as Abby Hammond and Skyler Gisondo as Eric Bemis.

Sheila and Joel are husband and wife realtors living a normal life in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Clarita when Sheila gets transformed into a zombie. The second season of the show found the couple trying to track down a cure for Sheila’s condition and covering up multiple murders to keep her fed. A police officer and friend discovered their secret, which could expose their crimes.

Were you bummed out by the cliffhanger at the end of season 1 of SANTA CLARITA DIET? Well have no fear, because Netflix has ordered up a second season of the delicious zombie dramedy.

The series, starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, will begin shooting its second season this summer. There’s no word yet on when season 2 might be served up to fans, but we do know it will happen in 2018.

The new Netflix series SANTA CLARITA DIET will be available on the Canadian streaming service in February 2017, as will weekly episodes of RIVERDALE and season 4 of THE 100. On the movie side, you can see the original Netflix film DAVID BRENT: LIFE ON THE ROAD starring Ricky Gervais.

Check out the full list below of what’s coming to (and leaving) Netflix Canada in January 2017.
