Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Human flesh is on the menu for Drew Barrymore in the first official trailer for Netflix's upcoming dark comedy, Santa Clarita Diet.

The clip released Tuesday, tells the story of suburban mom Sheila (Barrymore) and how she develops a new taste for blood after seemingly dying.

Unable to ignore her urges but unwilling to give up her family, Shelia enlists the help of her husband Joel (Timothy Olyphant) in order to track down people in Los Angeles who deserve in their eyes to die through the use of their reality company.

"I guess the prototype would have to be a young, single Hitler," Olyphant is heard describing the perfect victim for Barrymore to devour. "God, we'd be heroes," she responds.

"Joel and Sheila Hammond are realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita, until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending both their lives down a road of death and destruction... but in a good way," reads the synopsis.

Also starring Nathan Fillion, Liv Hewson, and Skylar Gisondo, Santa Clarita Diet is set to premiere on Netflix starting Feb. 3.
