When over-achieving medical resident Liv Moore attends a party that turns into a zombie feeding frenzy, she ends up joining the ranks of the living dead. Determined to pass as human despite her pale appearance and newly listless demeanor, Liv forms a plan to resist her drive to consume fresh human brains by taking a job at a coroner's office, where she can secretly snack on the brains of corpses delivered there. Soon discovering that she absorbs the memories of those she feeds on, she finds new purpose by posing as a psychic and working with a detective to help solve their murders.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An amusing variation on the zombie trend, iZombie is refreshingly different, if perhaps too youth-oriented to resonate with adult audiences.

Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer 10/18/2017
iZombie is a delightfully ironic take on the horror genre. While as a police procedural it's far more Veronica Mars than Rookie Blues. Go to Full Review
Debbie Day TheWrap 10/18/2017
Show creator Rob Thomas' touch on iZombie is a marriage of his tenacious super-sleuth Veronica Mars and his irrepressible love god Cupid (remember that 2009 Jeremy Piven gem?) with just the right mix of sleuthing and snogging. Go to Full Review
Marc Silver Washington Post 11/04/2015
There's never been a series quite like this one: a self-mocking mash-up of zombie thriller, detective show and single-girl-in-the-city comedy. Go to Full Review

Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 03/05/2020
[O]ne of the most promising, confident, fun new dramas of its kind, crime or zombie-centric, in recent memory. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker GreenCine 02/12/2016
The supernatural elements are woven through real world experiences and mystery series conventions, which gives the show a lighter tone and a very different take on the undead than The Walking Dead and its ilk. Go to Full Review

Bobby S. @Bobby.s Jan 13 Its good but as it goes the main character starts to loose what makes her special at some point due to her ability being less rare See more John A @RT65653293 10/31/2023 I am sick & tired of series starting out clever and heartwarming, then just getting darker & darker because it's... compelling? Judging from the other reviews i guess it works for most. Not for me. I gave up on this one halfway through the first season. (Vague spoiler alert.) One sympathetic character is killed. Another's life is devastated. The main protagonist becomes unsympathetic. Bye bye. See more angela g @Sunflower378 10/26/2023 the best season i like the mystery and comedy tagged in this show See more Toms c @tomscove 06/04/2023 Brilliant, great cast. See more Dysthymia @RT06312044 09/08/2022 Started off good and interesting, but about half way through the first season I realized the writing was going to sh * t. There is nothing more insufferable than characters taking a bunch of stupid-pills and hiding key information from each other just to further the plot because the writers can't figure out how to organically make the characters tell each other information and do what they are supposed to do (Like Liv killing Blaine.) Jesus Christ, I was so pissed at season 1 (I skipped episodes 9 through 12 because I was bored as Hell and skimmed 13 to see if my worst fears were true: that not a single character has a satisfying resolution.) I don't give a damn that the lazy writers are clinging to their characters for the next seasons because this is another mindless and brainless series. The characters just do things and nothing ever seems to get done. I could go on and on, but yeah, not touching any of the other seasons with a ten foot pole, and wikipedia says Blaine actually survives through season 5 because OF COURSE HE DOES. THE WRITERS CAN'T KILL HIM OFF IN A SATISFYING WAY BECAUSE THEN, OOPSY, WE DON'T HAVE OUR VILLAIN ANYMORE. I need to stop writing this review, it's really pissing me off. I'm sure plenty of idiots out there will gobble up this show but it is far too stupid, predictable and unbearable for me. See more 04/09/2022 Gostei da premissa que abrange outro território do tema zumbi . Porém, isso não foi o bastante pra me prender na série . E têm alguns motivos pra isso ter acontecido, exemplo: Visões convenientes que o roteiro usa pra fazer a trama prosseguir , policial burro que acredita em tudo que a mina fala ( até que um policial treinado erra um tiro a queima-roupa ) , etc, etc . Enfim , não é a pior coisa que eu já vi , porém não é a melhor . See more Read all reviews
