Santa Clarita Diet filmed its Nazi-attacking episode around the time of the deadly Charlottesville rally

The Hollywood Reporter

Creator Victor Fresco says the episode filmed either on the day or the day after Charlottesville, but it was written five months earlier. Fresco says: "We didn't know at the time that Nazis would become more mainstream, which was just kind of interesting, because we were doing it at a time where Nazis were still, I think, a fringe and then I think after Charlottesville and after the president's comments, I think there was an active attempt to more mainstream them, which was interesting to me, but it was more that we felt those could be people that we would understand why she would target.""
