Immediately following the events of Season 1, in the first episode of the new season, we see Sheila (Drew Barrymore) chained in the basement, Joel (Timothy Olyphant) in a psychiatric facility and Abby and Eric basically left on their own to complete the serum which will not cure Sheila but keep her from becoming worse. (Yeaaay!).
The episode progresses with Joel meeting an unexpected confidant in the mental facility and Abby using her wit and resourcefulness to complete the serum but with an unknown threat just a step behind her, can she help Sheila who is becoming more feral?
Despite a little "setback" which the family encounters, the day comes to an end with Sheila proving that she is still an awesome mom by having pizza/dinner delivered home. Special shout out to Joel's shrimp cocktails. This is a testament to the show's core value of family-no matter how crazy and impossible circumstances get.
Meanwhile, Eric meets Ramona our favorite helpful, deadpan grocery assistant who may or may not be hiding her own frozen stored secrets.
A surprise twist towards the end of the episode opens the season to an even bigger arc and the possibility of more of the undead in Santa Clarita. (Hey, the more the merrier right? Riiight?).
After seeing the first episode you just want to dive in and binge-watch the rest of the series, which becomes available for streaming on Netflix on March 23.
