Very disappointing news for fans of the show.

Santa Clarita Diet has been added to Netflix’s ever-growing raft of cancellations, the streaming giant confirmed on Friday evening.

The Netflix original show survived for three seasons, the most recent of which was uploaded less than a month ago.

The show starred Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore as a normal California couple who sold real estate, until Barrymore’s character became a zombie who craved human flesh.

The creators behind the show released 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.

“Netflix took at chance on this odd show and for that we will always be grateful. They were supportive, ever positive, and appreciative of our work. Until about noon today. Still, they were just one phone call away from being a perfect studio. Not bad.

“Everything ends. This was a thing. And so it ended. We’ll miss it but are proud of the work we did and will always appreciate the love and enthusiasm we felt from our audience. It if was up to them, Sheila and Joel would continue for another 10,000 years.”

Other shows cancelled by Netflix in the past 12 months include Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Daredevil, The Punisher and Jessica Jones.
