What if a family member dies -- but still keeps living? In Netflix's upcoming Santa Clarita Diet, Drew Barrymore plays the undead Sheila Hammond ("zombie" has a negative connotation), your everyday realtor trying to spend time with her family and curb her urges to consume human flesh.

Timothy Olyphant plays Sheila's husband Joel, struggling to adapt to the change in his wife's physiology while helping her stay...erm, alive. The only way to keep Sheila alive is to kill people -- but how do they decide who to kill?

"We have to kill someone who deserves it," he tells her. "I guess the prototype would be a young, single Hitler."

Santa Clarita Diet premieres on Netflix Feb. 3.
