Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant turn zombeism and vigilante justice into a family affair inNetflixs new horror-comedy,Santa Clarita Diet.
The Netflix original series is about a husband-and-wife realtor team, Joel and Sheila Hammond, whose suburban lives are upended after Sheila (Barrymore) continues to live after her heart stops beating and develops a taste for human flesh. The couple are generally optimistic about Sheilas new status as an undead person (the family agrees the term zombie is inherently negative), but her inability to control her hunger forces the Hammonds to take drastic measures.
Culling from the Dexterplaybook, the family decides to feed Sheilas hunger by only killing people who deserve it. I guess the prototype would be a young, single Hitler, Joel cracks as the Hammonds go about gutting the neighborhood.
Santa Clarita Dietalso stars Liv Hewson, Ricardo Chavira, Skyler Gisondo and Nathan Fillion. The series arrives on Netflix February 3rd.
