IZOMBIE: Rose McIver Previews Seattle’s New Zombie World Order

Comments Off on IZOMBIE: Rose McIver Previews Seattle’s New Zombie World Order
It’s a whole new zombie world when IZOMBIE’s fourth season bows tonight.
With the existence of the undead no longer a secret—and with a good portion of Seattle now infected with the zombie virus—the city is walled off from the rest of society when The CW zom-com-rom-dram returns. “We have a couple of very different opinions about how zombies and humans should interact,” Rose McIver (Liv) previews of some tension within the core group. “The whole show is pretty different now that people know about zombies.”
In Monday’s season opener, Liv consumes the brain of a Seattle Seahawks super-fan (“That was a lot of fun,” McIver says with a laugh. “A lot of face paint!”), but also has to navigate the increasingly complicated new way of life. “Throughout the course of the season, Liv takes a very specific route about how she thinks it should be approached—she’s very compassionate as an individual, for better and for worse,” she says. “What I like is that it’s very nuanced. There’s not one great solution about how to deal with these problems, it just raises questions around it. Major takes the other side of it. He and Fillmore Graves are very hardlined about what they think needs to happen.”
“It mirrors what’s happening in the [real] world: to watch these two very different opinions clashing and people who are getting hurt in between,” she continues. “IZOMBIE is a lot of fun as a show, but it’s also very powerful to be on a zombie comedy that has issues people need to be thinking about right now. We don’t have any solutions, but we’re asking questions so people might think outside their own perspective a little bit.”

There’s tension ahead for IZOMBIE’s Ravi and Blaine.
“Ravi and Blaine have some good stuff together,” David Anders (Blaine) told reporters, in the video below. “There’s this animosity between them. There’s a rivalry brewing between Ravi and Blaine.”
But how bad will it get?
Anders and Rahul Kohli (Ravi) sat down with reporters (on the MINORITY REPORT set, which is on the same lot as IZOMBIE’s sets) to tease the upcoming tension… Read more

Liv goes a little bit country in tonight’s brand new episode of IZOMBIE.
In the hour, “Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blues,” Liv eats a brain of a country-singing waitress. So, naturally, Liv busts out a few songs of her own in the hour.
On the show’s Vancouver set, Rose McIver (Liv) spoke with reporters about singing for the episode, and she and Malcolm Goodwin shared details on a hilarious Clive scene that was cut for time… Read more

Comments Off on IZOMBIE Co-Creator Teases the Cure’s Impact, Liv’s Struggling Relationships, and Season 2 Brains
IZOMBIE is back for its second season, and things are a bit different: Liv is a still a zombie, but her big foe (Blaine), and her former fiance (Major) were cured of being zombies at the end of season 1.
So what’s in store for the CW show’s sophomore year? I spoke with IZOMBIE co-creator Diane Ruggiero-Wright about the show finding its footing, that zombie cure (and its long-standing impact), Liv’s secrets, and much more…

Comments Off on IZOMBIE: Rose McIver Teases Season 2
IZOMBIE’s Liv found herself in a rough spot when season 1 ended.
With many of those closest to her now in on Liv’s zombie secret (including Liv’s ex-fiance, Major, and Liv’s roommate/BFF Peyton), some of the weight has been taken off of her shoulders.
Of course, Liv’s family still doesn’t know the truth…and the season concluded with Liv being asked to donate blood to her wounded brother. But since Liv used the zombie cure on Blaine and a briefly-zombied Major, she’s fresh out of the cure and ideas of what to do.
At Comic-Con, Rose McIver (Liv) spoke with reporters about how Liv might react to newbies in season 2, the “very untested cure,” if she’ll get to use her natural accent on the show, and more…

IZOMBIE will return for a second season, The CW announced.
The Rose McIver-led series has aired eight episodes of its first season so far. (The season finale will air on June 9th.) The pickup means in terms of new shows, only THE MESSENGERS has yet to hear its fate. (HART OF DIXIE is still, technically, on the bubble.)

Comments Off on IZOMBIE: Rose McIver Previews the New CW Series
The CW’s newest show, IZOMBIE, launches tonight, and while the network is no stranger to supernatural beings (or hunters) the central character, Liv, is — as the title suggests — a zombie. And though Liv eats brains, she uses her feeding habits for a good cause: she gets her brains at the morgue where she works, and, as a side effect, gets memories from the dead…which help her solve their murders. (The series is also loosely based on a DC graphic novel series.)
Rose McIver (Liv), IZOMBIE’s lead, has also been a familiar presence on television, appearing most recently on ONCE UPON A TIME and MASTERS OF SEX.
On the IZOMBIE Vancouver set, McIver spoke with reporters about her new series…
