I loved the first two seasons of Netflix's bloody zombie comedy Santa Clarita Diet, but I'm going to have to rewatch them before season 3 hits the streaming service. Binge-watching 10 quick episodes once a year doesn't leave much of an impact on my memory.

Now I know how much time I have to rewatch the previous twenty episodes, as Netflix has announced that season 3 will be available for viewing as of March 29th.

Created by Victor Dresco, Santa Clarita Diet stars Drew Barrymore, Timothy Olyphant, and Liv Hewson in the story of 

realtor spouses Sheila (Barrymore) and Joel (Olyphant), who lead vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenage daughter Abby (Hewson), until Sheila goes through a dramatic change that sends their lives down a road of death and destruction — but in a good way.

Sheila’s big problem isn’t that she missed her sales quota — rather, she has contracted a zombie virus and has begun to devour all the nasty people around her. And they say real estate is a dog-eat-dog business.

Also in the cast is Skyler Gisondo as neighbor/friend Eric. I had to mention him, because it's Gisondo who provides many of the laughs I get from the show.
