First Look at the CW's New Series, 'iZombie'

The new CW series, "iZombie," premieres on Tuesday, March 17 at 9 p.m. ET and now we have a first look at what we can expect from the adaptation of the Chris Roberson and Michael Allred-created DC comic book series.

Taken from its official Facebook page, the premise of the series reads as follows:

Olivia “Liv” Moore was 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. Afterward, she had become part zombie and currently works at a coroner's office so she can eat brains so she can survive, which gave her a useful ability to get the memories from said brains to help solve homicide mysteries.

The series stars Rose McIver as Olivia "Liv" Moore; Robert Buckley as Major Lilywhite; Malcolm Goodwin as Clive Babinaux; David Anders as Blaine DeBeers; and, Rahul Kohli as Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti. Executive producers include: Rob Thomas ("Veronica Mars"); Diane Ruggiero; Dan Etheridge; and Danielle Stokdyk.
