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 Oct 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 Oct 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 Nov 4, 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 A.S. Hamrah The Baffler Sep 17, 2020
...brain-eating entertainment for tweens... Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Mar 5, 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 Feb 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 Read all reviews

Maria G @Marjan1 1 day ago Ironic and dark, but still so fun. I love the chemistry between Rose McIver and Rahul Kohli. It's not deep, but very enjoyable. The love between Liv and Major is so palpable and lovely. See more Marco L @decatur555 Jul 1, 2026 iZombie is a surprisingly charming and easy-to-watch twist on the zombie genre. Instead of trying to compete with darker survival shows, it turns its undead premise into a mix of crime procedural, supernatural comedy and light black humor. Liv used to be a doctor with a normal life, then she becomes a zombie and finds in the morgue the least criminal way to keep going. She eats brains without killing anyone, and each brain gives her memories and personality quirks that help solve murders. The case-of-the-week format can become repetitive, but Rose McIver, Ravi, Clive and Blaine make the show much more enjoyable than expected. It is clever, likeable, funny and a refreshing take on zombies. See more Bobby S. @Bobby.s Jan 13, 2026 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 Oct 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.
