It seems that Netflix may have another winner in their hands after they released the teaser for Drew Barrymore's latest starrer, a cannibal show entitled Santa Clarita Diet.

Yes, a cannibal show - featuring Drew Barrymore, as a real estate agent Sheila who is married to Joel, a character portrayed by Timothy Olyphant, who is also a realtor. While the premise of a married suburban couple with a teenage daughter may seem ordinary at first, Netflix pushes the envelope and adds a horror concept to the mix.

The teaser premiered during the 74th Golden Globes and is set to premiere on February 3, E! reported. "In Santa Clarita Diet, Joel (Timothy Olyphant, Justified) and Sheila (Drew Barrymore, Blended) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenaged daughter Abby (Liv Hewson), until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction ... but in a good way," Paste Magazine posted the synopsis.

In an interview with Barrymore, she shared a major event that will happen in the first episode will spin the series on its tail - death. What happens for the rest of the 13-episode season is basically the family's adventures in dealing with Sheila's hunger for raw meat - the human kind.

Netflix is marketing the series as a unique diet program and Barrymore admits that ingesting that much protein really could do wonders for one's physique. If you ate nothing but protein every day, you'd really thin out!" she said in an interview with USA Today.

The star said that the series, which will also feature Castle star Nathan Fillion as Sheila and Joel's rival real estate agent, is not heavy but ironically has that dose of sweetness that will endear audiences to the premise of the show and the characters.

"I don't want to watch a show about a couple fighting and falling apart, I can't handle it right now. It's not heavy, but it's not lacking in a sort of sweetness, if you will. But it's also got bite and backbone and balls. I like things that are easy to digest. Pun intended," she quipped.
