The adventures of Sheila and Joel Hammond are over.
Netflix is not moving forward with a fourth season of Santa Clarita Diet, it has been announced.
The third and final season launched on the streamer back in March, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger of epic proportions.
Unfortunately, the cliffhanger will not be resolved thanks to the decision to cancel the series.
The comedy series focused on everyday suburban real estate agents in Santa Clarita, California.

The couple faced a series of obstacles when Sheila has a physical transformation into a zombie and starts craving human flesh.
As Joel and the family try to help Sheila through her transformation, they have to deal with overbearing neighbors, a trail of dead bodies and a big mystery.
Santa Clarita Diet had marketable stars in Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, but it's hard to imagine the series getting another shot elsewhere.
The cancellation is somewhat surprising. The show's most recent season amassed an approval rating of 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but Netflix has been on a cancellation spree in recent months.
The online streaming network recently felt the ire of the internet for canceling One Day at a Time after three seasons.
While there are efforts to save the series, it's an uphill battle because of the aggressive terms about moving a Netlflix series to another streamer.
Netflix also got a lot of pushback from viewers for canceling its entire Marvel slate, including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage after an apparent dispute with Disney.

Netflix has been open about shows needing to hit certain viewership metrics within 28 days to be in contention for additional seasons, but given that it's been just three weeks since Santa Clarita Diet launched, it seems the numbers were not close to hitting the goal.
