It was back in April 2019 that Netflix cancelled cannibal comedy “Santa Clarita Diet” after three seasons, making it one of the many original shows from the streaming service that unfortunately ended without a storyline resolution. We have no reason to believe Netflix has any interest in reversing that decision, so it’s likely we’ve seen the last of Sheila and Joel.
How does series creator Victor Fresco feel about that? Speaking with LADbible this month, Fresco indicated that he’d personally love to be able to bring closure to the show.
“That’s something I think we all would want to do if everyone was available. Emotionally, everyone on the show would love to do some kind of closure,” Fresco told the site.
He continued, “There were online petitions. Hundreds of thousands of people signed. I felt badly because your job as a writer is to get people invested in your show emotionally. We did that and then the rug was pulled from under them. It was a hard thing to process.”
SEASON 3 SPOILERS BELOW.
“Santa Clarita Diet” centered on Sheila and Joel (Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant), a married couple whose lives take a darkly comedic turn when Sheila dies and is reanimated with a need for human flesh. The third (and final) season of the series ended with Sheila biting Joel, teasing a fourth season wherein both Sheila and Joel are undead cannibals.
“We thought it would be fun to do a season with Joel and Sheila in the same boat – what that would look like. I feel like this would be better for us and better for our fans too,” Fresco explains in the chat with LADbible, where he touches upon some more Season 4 hopes.
