Hot on the heels of ARROW and THE FLASH being renewed for new seasons, The CW has also announced when we can finally expect iZOMBIE to debut. In the US, that show will officially premiere on Tuesday, March 17th at 9pm. A UK home has yet to be confirmed for this adaptation of a fan-favourite comic book tale.

The official word on the show reads:

Rose McIver stars as Olivia “Liv” Moore, 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 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, she can secretly snack on the brains of the many Jane and John Doe corpses that make a final stop in the morgue. 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, and she begins to experience visions from the point of view of the murder victims. It’s not the same as being alive again, but at least she can find purpose in her undead existence by helping to solve the murders of those who are indeed fully dead.

iZOMBIE also stars Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley and David Anders.  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, Diane Ruggiero-Wright, Danielle Stokdyk and Dan Etheridge.

And in case you’re still unsure what to expect from the show, here’s the latest trailer:
