Some new residents are heading to the neighborhood. "Community" alum Joel McHale, Maggie Lawson (Psych), Gerald McRaney (This Is Us) and Zachary Knighton (Happy Endings) are joining Season 2 of Netflix’s "Santa Clarita Diet" in guest-starring roles.
McHale and Lawson will play Chris and Christa, married realtors in Santa Clarita — and a more successful, more aggressive version of Sheila and Joel.
McRaney portrays Ed Thune, a retired army colonel who Joel finds very intimidating.
Knighton is Paul, the chill descendent of Serbian ancestors who has been tasked with pursuing the truth of the undead, no matter who or what stands in his way.
Season 2 picks up with the Hammonds trying to adapt to Sheila’s now-advanced undead state — even though she’s desperately working to hold on to her suburban lifestyle and not be defined as just another monster. Unfortunately — while the family has become markedly better at murder — the number of missing people in Santa Clarita is starting to pile up and it’s no longer going unnoticed.
Meanwhile, the Hammonds are chasing the source of the virus so they can stop it from spreading and save humanity — which seems important. Through it all, Sheila and Joel are grounded by their unconditional love for one another. Sure, being undead — or loving someone who is — isn’t always easy, but don’t all relationships have their challenges?
Season 2 launches this Spring on Netflix.
