NetflixDrew Barrymore is coming with a Diet for your post-holidays needs. Barrymore's Santa Clarita Diet will hit Netflix on Friday, Feb. 3. Timothy Olyphant also stars in the comedy.
Santa Clarita Diet follows Joel (Justified's Olyphant) and Sheila (Barrymore), husband and wife realtors living in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Clarita. They're not exactly happy, but then dramatic change prompted by Sheila sends their loves "down a road of death and destruction…but in a good way," Netflix said in release. Liv Hewson plays Sheila and Joel's daughter Abby. Skylar Gisondo also stars as Eric Bemis.
Olyphant, Barrymore, Victor Fresco, Aaron Kaplan, Tracy Katsky, Chris Miller and Ember Truesdell are executive producers on the series. Nancy Juvonen is on board as a producer.

Her other TV roles include Family Guy and Grey Gardens. Behind the scenes, Barrymore has executive produced Knife Fight, Blooms, How to Be Single, Tough Love, the short-lived Charlie's Angels TV reboot and Donnie Darko.
