The CW has ordered a pilot based on the DC Comics property iZombie.

Veronica Mars's Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero will be showrunners for iZombie, which was launched as a comic in 2010.

Zombie is centred on the story of Gwen Dylan, a reanimated corpse who must consume a brain each month in order to maintain intelligence and gain the deceased person's memories.

Gwen works as a medical examiner to have access to bodies, and also helps to solve murder cases.

The CW is already the home of DC Comics adaptation Arrow, which stars Stephen Amell as the titular hooded hero.

An Arrow spinoff based on The Flash - which will star Grant Gustin as Barry Allen ? is also in the works at The CW.

Deadline reported today that Malcolm Goodwin (Breakout Kings) will star in the potential series as 'Clive', whilst Alexandra Krosney (Last Man Standing) and David Anders (Alias) will co-star in the pilot as Peyton and Blaine, respectively. Check out the description of the pilot below:

iZombie is a supernatural crime procedural that centers on Liv, a med student-turned-zombie who 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 boss and a police detective (Goodwin), she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing voices in her head. Goodwin?s Clive is a detective who recently received a promotion from vice to homicide but has been floundering for his first two months and is in desperate need of making a case. Though dubious at first about Liv?s ?psychic? powers, she demonstrates too much accuracy for him not to take her seriously. Krosney plays Peyton, Liv?s best friend and roommate who is baffled by Liv?s recent behavior and feels like they?re drifting apart. Anders cast plays the show?s bad guy Blaine, an entitled rich kid who bites off more than he can chew in the drug business.

I read some of the comics a long time ago but I'm not a fan of CW shows.

 

Guess you haven't seen ARROW, one of the best shows on TV. Missing out.
