Here are the first images from The CW's upcoming iZombie
starring Rose McIver (Liv),
Alexandra Krosney (Peyton), Robert Buckley (Major Lilywhite) and David Anders
(Blaine).
iZombie tells the story of a med student-turned-zombie
takes a job in the coroner's office to gain access to the brains she must
reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity. But with each brain she consumes, she
inherits the corpse's memories. With the help of her medical examiner boss and
a police detective, she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing
voices in her head. Based on the characters created by Chris Roberson and
Michael Allred, and published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.
Olivia
“Liv” Moore was a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident
who had her life path completely mapped out…until the night she attended a party
that unexpectedly turned into a zombie feeding frenzy. As one of the newly
undead, Liv is doing her best to blend in and look as human as possible. Her
appearance now passes for “Goth,” with shockingly pale skin and nearly white
hair, and her demeanor has gone from exuberant to exhausted. The change in Liv
is baffling to her mother, her former fiancé, Major, and her best friend and
roommate, Peyton, who still has the high-energy, Type-A personality that Liv
has completely abandoned. Despite her post-traumatic ennui, Liv has devised a
way to resist her baser urges to devour fresh human brains – she’s taken a job
in the Seattle coroner’s office. In this appropriately dead-end job, Liv can
secretly snack on the brains of the many Jane and John Doe corpses that make a
final stop in the morgue. Despite carefully covering her tracks, Liv’s boss,
Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, discovers her secret and is surprisingly excited about
the scientific possibilities. Even with her boss’ enthusiasm, Liv remains
resigned to an eternity without hope or purpose, until she realizes that with
every brain she consumes, she retains a portion of that person’s memories. Liv
begins to experience visions from the point of view of the murder victims. Much
to the surprise of Dr. Ravi and homicide detective Clive Babineaux, Liv often
has detailed knowledge of crime scenes and motives that she can’t easily
explain. Posing as a psychic, she works with Detective Babineaux to investigate
these crimes and discover who is responsible. It’s not the same as being alive
again, but at least Liv can find purpose in her undead existence by helping
Clive solve the murders of those who are indeed fully dead. The series stars
Rose McIver (“Masters of Sex,” “Once Upon a Time”) as Liv, Malcolm Goodwin
(“Breakout Kings”) as Clive Babineaux, newcomer Rahul Kohli as Dr. Ravi
Chakrabarti, Robert Buckley (“One Tree Hill”) as Major Lilywhite, Alexandra
Krosney (“Last Man Standing”) as Peyton Charles, David Anders (“Once Upon a
Time,” “The Vampire Diaries”) as Blaine DeBeers and Nora Dunn (“Entourage,”
“Saturday Night Live”) as Eva Moore. Based upon characters created by Chris
Roberson and Michael Allred, and published by DC Entertainment’s Vertigo
imprint, iZOMBIE is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Spondoolie
Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Rob Thomas
(“Veronica Mars,” “Party Down,” “Cupid”), Diane Ruggiero-Wright (“Veronica
Mars,” “The Ex List,” “That’s Life”), Danielle Stokdyk (“Veronica Mars,” “Party
Down,” “Cupid”) and Dan Etheridge (“The Carrie Diaries,” “Veronica Mars,”
