Santa Clarita Diet appears to be a regimen that Netflix plans to maintain. The zombie comedy, starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, received generally favourable responses to season 2, and Netflix does not get in the habit of cancelling shows unless they are disastrously unpopular.
Netflix has just made the release date for season 3 official. Get ready for for another round of 10 episodes on 29th March…
More as we have it.

Santa Clarita Diet season 3 story
Story-wise, Santa Clarita Diet season 3 will have plenty of loose ends to take care of. In discussing the mythology of the show with our US chums, creator Victor Fresco said he knew where things would go in season 3:
“We do. We don’t in the sense of knowing where things are at in say, season five, but we know in season three where things are headed and what Mr. Ball Legs represents. We know that Paul, who Zachary Knighton plays, will be back and that he represents a threat to the Hammonds. It’s an interesting threat because he’s not a cop or a doctor, you know? When we break these stories we always have an idea of where it all goes, but it may not be a 100% certainty on it all. We’re talking about season three so we’re starting to nail that down.
The ball with legs originally started just as this cool idea and visual, but obviously much like the Hammonds we want to know what the fuck that thing is! So there’s fun to be had with not answering that outright, but still getting closer to new details.”
