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,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement. The show also stars Liv Hewson as the Hammonds’ daughter Abby and Skyler Gisondo as Eric Bemis. Santa Clarita Diet premiered on the streaming platform in February 2017, while the new season released on 29 March.
