After 3 seasons on Netflix, the flesh-eating TV show that featured Drey Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, ‘Santa Clarita Diet’ has been cancelled.
“The world had never known a ‘zom-com’ until Santa Clarita Diet, and we’re indebted to creator Victor Fresco for bringing this idea to Netflix,” Netflix said in a statement. “To their endless credit, the incredible Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant were totally game, with an uncanny knack for comedy that brought Sheila and Joel Hammond to vibrant life, even though one of them was undead. We’re grateful to Victor, Drew, and Timothy, along with fellow executive producers Tracy Katsky, Aaron Kaplan, Chris Miller and Ember Truesdell and the terrific cast, including Liv Hewson and Skyler Gisondo, and crew for three hilarious seasons for Netflix members to discover for years to come.”
While Season 1 was extremely successful, highlighting the zom-com that became the relationship of Drey Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, but viewership wavered after the 2nd season and after the 3rd season it seems like the streaming giant is going to pull the plug. The show had an average 89 percent rating among critics and 87 percent audience score for its three seasons on Rotten Tomatoes.
