The premise of the new series revolves around husband and wife realtors who are leading dismal lives 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.”

“The genius of casting Timothy and Drew, combined with my comedic… oh wait, that’s Cindy’s quote. I agree with what Cindy is about to say,” said writer and producer Victor Fresco.

Cindy Holland, Netflix vice president of original content said, “The genius casting of Timothy and Drew combined with Victor’s unique comedic sensibility will delight, and definitely surprise, our members around the world.”

Both actors jumped on the wagon to be a part of the new series after the project was bought by Netflix. The show is set to film 13 episodes and will start filming mid-May.

Santa Clarita Diet will launch in 2017.
