Santa Clarita Diet Season 2 Renewal Stakes Raised – Creator On Cliffhanger Finale

**SPOILER ALERT FOR SANTA CLARITA DIET SEASON 1 FINALE**

Sheila becomes recklessly violent toward Joel, a sign that she’s reached a dangerous level in her undead development, and Joel is a bit too honest with a psychiatrist after getting arrested. The final minutes see Sheila chained up in her basement to prevent herself from hurting anyone and Joel getting dragged away, presumably to be hospitalized.

“We wanted to keep ratcheting things up and we knew we wanted to end on a fun cliffhanger to get us into a second season,” creator Victor Fresco tells EW. “Through the course of the season, their lives are slowly going more and more off the rails, and then we leave them at this place where their lives have gone off the rails.”
