DREW BARRYMORE'S NEW NETFLIX SERIES SANTA CLARITA DIET IS ABOUT EATING PEOPLE!! COMING FEB 3!!

Last spring, we heard the news (If you where paying attention) that Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, two very charming people, would star as a married couple with a twist in a Netflix show about suburban life called Santa Clarita Diet. The plot description mentioned that "Sheila [Barrymore] goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction ... but in a good way," which seemed to refer to the fact that she adopts a hip lifestyle or possibly gets into musical improv. This is not the case. In Drew Barrymore's Netflix show, Drew Barrymore eats people. So it looks like we will be seeing another Zombie series.

Jezebel first picked up that something was amiss yesterday, citing a few tabloid ads for the show that feature Drew hawking a very bloody finger smoothie. But USA Today got a better sense of the story in an interview with Barrymore herself. "The 'dramatic change' Sheila undergoes in the series opener is, in fact, death," USA writes. "And while they tend to their open houses and teenage daughter, the couple must sate Sheila’s unbridled id and undead hunger, first with raw meat and, eventually, as the hunger grows the human kind."

Barrymore's incipient zombiism then turns into a whole finding-your-truth metaphor for the character, in an Eat, Pray, Blood sort of way. "We do this sort of Cro-Magnon type of evolution with her over the course of the 10 episodes. No gimmicks, no prosthetics, just an awakening,” Barrymore told USA Today. “I just really enjoyed shedding a snakeskin with her, so it became a really fun obstacle that I wasn’t even planning for but seemed so conducive and fun and healthy for my own life." We're not sure on whether that means the actress actually munched on brains for the sake of art.

Creator Victor Fresco added that the cause of Barrymore's character's death and rebirth isn't clear, at least in the pilot. "Presumably, she has been exposed to something — although we don’t know what — which is making her feel a bit off," Fresco said.

To confirm the news that you will soon have the luxury to watch the star of blended, blending up some human flesh for her special Z diet. Here is a Santa Clarita promo still that Netflix added to its site today.

There's no doubt netflix have picked up two great actor's here in Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant but for me it's the main man I'm most excited to see, he really is a great actor and I've not really seen him about in much since the amazing Justified so I'm excited to see him back. Thoughts?
