Netflix News: Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant in Manila Sta. Clarita Diet


You had me at Drew Barrymore, growing up "E.T." (1982) was a big movie and I watched it all the time as a kid, another influence from my Dad, of course Drew Barrymore's breakout role as Gertie and her high pitched scream as she and E.T. literally scream at each other stuck to me as a kid. 

This powerhouse of a woman has made her indelible mark in pop culture with the movies she has starred in, directed and produced. Her unforgettable one scene role in "Scream" back in 1996 has its own GIF. 

Her dynamic duo tandem with Adam Sandler has spawned two staple romantic comedies "The Wedding Singer" in 1998 and "50 First Dates" in 2004, she also starred in the two "Charlie's Angels" films in 2000 and 2003 which helped further establish herself as a household name. 

Her filmography almost reaches 50 films and that does not even include her work for Television. She has also sat on the Producer's chair and Director's Chair and she's not slowing down! 



Last year she starred (and executive produced) her first Netflix horror comedy series "Sta. Clarita Diet" where she plays Sheila Hammond, your typical suburban real estate agent who mysteriously becomes a zombie and starts craving human flesh. 

Her husband, Joel (played by the hilarious Timothy Olyphant) who tries to help Sheila through this "difficult phase". The Hammonds, along with their daughter Abby try to deal with the demands of having a Zombie for a wife/mom, while fending off nosy neighbors, suburban lifestyle and potentially solving an age old mythological mystery. 

The first season, which is made of 10 episodes was made available for streaming last February 3, 2017. Season 2 will premiere on March 23.
