Last year, The CW further ventured into the realm of comic book adaptations with the launch of one of their latest series, iZombie, which is loosely based on the DC Comics series of the same name. The series focuses on Liv Moore, a medical resident in the city of Seattle, who gets turned into a zombie while attending a boat party. Long story short, she gets a job at the Central Morgue, tells her boss that she's a zombie, and he encourages her to eat the brains of murder victims, as this gives her access to flashbacks of the victim, which allows her to help the Seattle Police discover the true nature of the murders (she passes off as a psychic consultant). The first season was met with critical acclaim, and thus, it was renewed for a second season. And now, the trailer for that season has dropped.
Speaking to
Comicbook.com, showrunner
Rob Thomas had this to say about the upcoming season (light
SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't seen the series finale):
"We kind of say what the big storyline of Season Two will be in the finale of Season One. There's a moment with Vaughn Du Clark, the head of Max Rager, says to his right-hand scientist, 'You worry about creating Super Max, I'm going to eliminate all of the Seattle zombies.' If zombies were the aggressors in Season One, they're put a little bit more on the defensive side and it will make very strange bedfellows of Liv and Blaine in Season Two. Getting those two in scenes together, which was tough in Season One, will be much easier in Season Two".
In relation to The CW's other hit comic book adaptations, the release of this trailer quite possibly means that fans can expect to see a trailer for The Flash and Arrow to drop very soon, as the show airs immediately after the premiere of the first of episode of The Flash's second season, and the day before the premiere of Arrow's fourth season.
What do you guys think? Are you a fan of iZombie? Has this trailer got you excited for the series' next season? Be sure to let me know in the comments section below, and don't forget to share and hit that thumbs up!
The second season of iZombie airs October 6, on The CW.
