The Never Been Kissed star has joined the ranks of Kelly Clarkson and RuPaul and is set to produce and headline a syndicated talk show for CBS Television Distribution. 

“It is beyond my wildest dreams to have this opportunity for a daily talk show,” she said in a press release. “I’m truly thrilled and honored to be creating this show with CBS.”

“We are very excited to be in business with Drew Barrymore and have our stations serve as the launch group for a show that is the brightest prospect I have seen in many years,” CBS President of Television Stations Peter Dunn added.

A title and premiere date for Barrymore’s new show have yet to be announced.

Santa Clarita Diet joins One Day At A Time, Travelers, Love, Bloodline, Hemlock Grove and Daredevil, and has been canceled by Netflix after three seasons. 

“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,” Netflix said in a statement. “To their endless credit, the incredible Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant were totally game, with an uncanny knack for comedy that brought Sheila and Joel Hammond to vibrant life, even though one of them was undead. We’re grateful to Victor, Drew, and Timothy, along with fellow executive producers Tracy Katsky, Aaron Kaplan, Chris Miller, and Ember Truesdell and the terrific cast, including Liv Hewson and Skyler Gisondo, and crew for three hilarious seasons for Netflix members to discover for years to come.”

The dark comedy followed Sheila (Drew Barrymore), a real estate broker transformed into a zombie and her husband Joel (Timothy Olyphant) in the LA suburb of Santa Clarita.

“Like our audience, we were all-in on Sheila and Joel. Their relationship, in the face of incredible adversity, was inspiring to write and to watch.  Mostly, they were funny, which, in a comedy, is important.  Working with Drew and Tim, along with the immensely talented Liv and Skyler, was a joy and a once in a lifetime experience,” showrunner Victor Fresco and exec producer Tracy Katsky said in a joint statement Friday.

“Netflix took a chance on this odd show and for that, we will always be grateful.  They were supportive, ever positive, and appreciative of our work.  Until about noon today.  Still, they were just one phone call away from being a perfect studio. Not bad. Everything ends. This was a thing. And so it ended. We’ll miss it but are proud of the work we did and will always appreciate the love and enthusiasm we felt from our audience. It if was up to them, Sheila and Joel would continue for another 10,000 years.”

The second season, which aired March 23, brought with it a whole new level of shocking and is quite frankly, hilarious.

The season kicks off with the insides and outsides of a man being sprawled all over the family’s shiny kitchen when Sheila gets angry. Nonetheless, the family decide that if they work together they might still be able to have a normal, happy family life despite Sheila’s condition. The absurdity of this notion is a source of humour throughout.

There is also more happening plot-wise in this season. The couple face the challenge of where to find food for Sheila now that they have seemingly run out of criminals in the neighbourhood to kill. They also do some detective work as they try to solve the mystery of what the hell happened for Sheila for her to wake up dead one morning with a hunger for human flesh. Oh yeah, it also turns out that she is not the only one of her kind.

Special credit needs to be given to Liv Hewson who gives a fantastic performance as Abby, the teenage daughter with a badass attitude who holds the family together. Nathan Fillion also returns as Garry’s head and provides not just an excellent comedic twist but raises some pretty deep ethical questions as Sheila and Joel (Timothy Olyphant) figure out what to do with him.

Overall, it is surprising to see how genuinely entertaining the season was and the ending has made a third season look very attractive.

The romantic-comedy centers on a washed-up actress who hires her unemployed stand-in, both played by Barrymore to complete court-ordered community service after being busted for tax evasion. This double act soon turns out to be useful for the stand-in who takes over the actress’s identity, boyfriend and career.

Barrymore will also be producing the film alongside Ember Truesdell, Chris Miller, and Nancy Juvonen-Fallon through Flower Films. Penning the script is Sam Bain with Jamie Babbit serving as director.

You can watch Barrymore next on season two of Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet in March.
