Fans furious over shock Netflix cancellation

Fans have been left furious after Netflix announced the cancellation of Drew Barrymore’s zombie comedy series Santa Clarita Diet.

This story may contain spoilers.

The streaming giant released a statement announcing the show’s sudden cancellation this morning, ending the series after only three seasons.

The show’s third season premiered last month, and after a ten-episode run ended on a cliffhanger, much to fans’ dismay.

The show first premiered in February 2017, and followed the lives of Sheila and Joel Hammond, a suburban couple grappling with Sheila’s transformation into a flesh-eating zombie.

Starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, the unusual comedy series gained a cult following, and was well received by critics.

Fans have taken to Twitter to share their devastation, particularly after the nail-biting ending that will now never be resolved.

The news comes after the streaming giant announced it would raise its subscription prices this year, and at least one fan isn’t having a bar of it:

Netflix thanked the cast and crew, “for three hilarious seasons for Netflix members to discover for years to come.”

“The world had never known a ‘zom-com’ until Santa Clarita Diet and we’re indebted to creator Victor Fresco for bringing this idea to Netflix,” they said.
