‘Santa Clarita Diet’: Zach Knighton Set To Recur In Season 2

Happy Endings alum Zach Knighton has been tapped for a major recurring role on the upcoming second season of Netflix's dark comedy Santa Clarita Diet starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant. Fresco, who serves as showrunner, executive produces with Barrymore through her Flower Films banner, Olyphant, Kaplan, Katsky and Flower Films' Chris Miller and Ember Truesdell. Netflix is not revealing details about his character, who will play a key role in Season 2. Flower Films' Nancy Juvonen is a producer. In Santa Clarita Diet, Joel (Olyphant) and Sheila (Barrymore) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenage daughter Abby (Liv Hewson), until Sheila goes through a dramatic change that sends their lives down a road of death and destruction — but in a good way.




Santa Clarita Diet Season 2 will premiere in 2018 on Netflix. Now Playing 3 Shows We're Excited to See This SummerHappy Endings star Zach Knighton has joined Netflix's goriest dark comedy, Santa Clarita Diet, for Season 2, and if we're being honest, we're kind of hoping Drew Barrymore eats him. Netflix has kept the key details of Knighton's character secret says Deadline, only revealing that he'll play a major recurring role in the season alongside Barrymore and Olyphant. The first season centered on a suburban family whose world is rocked (mostly for the better) when their matriarch, Sheila (Drew Barrymore) suddenly finds herself turned into one of the undead. Personally, we're crossing our fingers for more zombies in Season 2, so if Knighton isn't going to play Sheila's next snack, here's hoping he'll join her as a member of the undead.

He also co-starred in Lauren Graham's recent Fox comedy pilot Linda From HR, which failed to score a series pick-up in May. Since then, he's starred in Fox's short-lived sitcom Weird Loners and appeared on The Good Fight, Elementary and The Catch. Netflix ordered a second season in March.
