iZombie Season 3 Release Date

iZombie Season 3 Trailer
We're still waiting on a trailer for iZombie season 3. We'll post it here as soon as we get it.
iZombie Season 3 Episodes
iZombie season 3's major arc will have to do with Vivian and Fillmore Graves, with Liv struggling over the question of which faction — humanity or zombies — she will side with when the inevitable clash between the two comes to pass. You know, plus murder mysteries.
Stay tuned for more news and insight into the third season of the beloved zombie dramedy. Den of Geek had the opportunity to visit the set earlier this month and learned lots of details about what's next for our favorite members of the undead community (plus Ravi, Clive, and Peyton) following the arrival of mysterious zombie corporation Filmore Graves on the scenes in the season two finale.
This is good news for fans of character-driven drama. iZombie has had some difficulties keeping its murder-of-the-week plots interesting and articulating Liv's character within a story structure that asks her to try on a new brains-inspired personality every episode, but it has done a great job developing its serialized elements in season 2.
Major continues to have one of the best "significant other" storylines on TV (this is what The Flash could have been doing with Iris in season 1...), and Ravi and Blaine are two of the most consistently delightful characters on television.
iZombie Season 3 Renewal
CW president Mark Pedowitz said in a earlier statement about the renewal of so many of its shows from last season:
The CW has become home to some of the most critically-acclaimed shows on broadcast television, with a wide array of fantastic scripted series across the week, ranging from musical comedy, to superhero action, to gritty sci-fi dramas. As we continue to further our strategy of more year-round original programming, picking up these 11 series for the 2016-2017 season puts us in a great position of having proven, high-quality shows to launch in the fall as well as midseason and summer of 2017.
More news as we hear it.
