Netflix has pulled the plug on Santa Clarita Diet, cancelling its zombie romantic comedy series after three seasons. Here’s everything you need to know, including a statement from Netflix…

Trusted industry website Deadline Hollywood broke the news, reporting that Netflix has opted to call time on Santa Clarita Diet instead of pressing ahead with a fourth run of the show.

Deadline shared this statement from Netflix…

“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. 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.”

The show’s creator Victor Fresco and executive producer Tracy Katsky offered this statement:

“Like our audience, we were all-in on Sheila and Joel. Their relationship, in the face of incredible adversity, was inspiring to write and to watch. Mostly, they were funny, which in a comedy is important. Working with Drew and Tim, along with the immensely talented Liv and Skyler, was a joy and a once in a lifetime experience.”

This seems like a fairly final end for Santa Clarita Diet, as Netflix doesn’t tend to let its shows live on elsewhere. If anything changes, of course, we’ll be sure to let you know…
