16 Upcoming Netflix Original Series To Be Excited About (That Aren't Marvel)
6. Santa Clarita Diet
Victor Fresco, who has received Emmy nominations for his work on shows such as Better Off Ted and Mad About You, is bringing his comedic talents to Netflix, with some serious talent in the lead roles to boot.
Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant are the stars of Santa Clarita Diet, playing husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita, until Barrymore's character goes through a dramatic change sending both their lives down a road of death and destruction...but in a good way.
Olyphant is best known of late for his work on FX drama Justified, but he's shown his comedic talents on plenty of occasions, with appearances in The Office, The League, and The Grinder. Barrymore, meanwhile, has long been effortlessly funny and charming, and hopefully she's getting the material to match here.
